How do the assessment periods work?

Hi 
I’m just wondering how does the assessment periods work, so let’s say that the assessment period starts from 30th and ends on 29th each month. If current assessment period is from 30/08-29/09 and I started a new job this month and my first salary is on 01/10 does this mean that I will get full UC amount for the assessment period 30/08-29/09 and the salary will be taken into account in the next assessment period which is 30/09-29/10?
TIA

Only earnings actually paid during the assessment period are taken into account. In your example, provided oi/10 is your official payday, you would get your full UC payment for 30/08-29/09 and the earnings would, exactly as you describe, affect the next payment.
