Joint Applicants With Different Pay Cycles: an evidence-led workflow

Short answer

For this tenancy file, show where every income figure came from; that keeps the decision traceable. In joint applicants with different pay cycles, do not combine wages, support payments, savings and trading receipts or hold income source unresolved. For this tenancy file, capture the period's first and last date from the record; that keeps the decision traceable. In joint applicants with different pay cycles, make both time spans explicit before placing figures side by side or hold coverage period unresolved. In the sample handoff, one applicant is paid weekly and the other monthly. The applicant documents income source, tests coverage period, and keeps payment cadence provisional in the shared date alignment sheet. Reopen the source comparison if household totals can mix periods; gross or net basis identifies the route back to a decision. The recipient decides what happens after submission.
