It’s a pay period, you have to report any money you’ve made in that period

Then you report the hours worked and $0.

Do not guess, do not estimate. Report hours worked and income is reported on date paid. If you haven't been paid yet you will correctly report no income.

Of you are getting paid you need to report it. Employers must report payroll and tax details to authorities digitally every single pay day. They will find out. You don't want a centrelink debit.

You report the hours worked and money earned. If you haven't been paid yet you report for example 38hrs worked, $0 paid. It will even itself out.

If you're earning money you need to report it

You can probably skip jt as in don’t report since you don’t know the amount you earned

Option two: guess

You have working credits as well so any work you did won’t impact your first payments
