Irregular work
Work can vary.
Keep a useful plan.
Whether you paint houses, work by the day or take occasional jobs in Musanze, track when money arrives and what it needs to cover.
Look at the weeks ahead.
- 01
Separate confirmed work from possibilities
Record agreed jobs, amounts and expected payment dates. Keep unconfirmed work opportunities on a separate list.
- 02
Allow for the cost of working
Transport, materials and helpers may need paying before you receive income. Record each cost and its due date.
- 03
Include household essentials
Place food, rent and other essentials in the week they are needed. Check whether available money can last until the next payment.
- 04
Adjust before a shortfall
If payment is delayed or work changes, update the record. Speak early with the person you owe; do not assume a due date has changed without agreement.
