Key legal question
Whether the appellant was entitled to commuter cost allowances for the work assignment from 23 to 27 May 2016.
Extracted holding
No. After comparing the relevant net earnings and deductible expenses, the outside work produced no loss of income within the meaning of the law.
Extracted reasoning
The court recalculated both the previous insured earnings and the earnings from the new assignment over the same five working days. The outside employment yielded a higher net amount than the prior reference income, so the statutory condition of financial disadvantage was not met.
