Wage reporting when hours change weekly after 14 years as a mechanic

I picked up part-time shifts as a mechanic and I am confused about how to report them. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Sometimes my paycheck is late by a week. Do you report when you earned it or when you were paid?

The claimant handbook has worked examples for part-time pay. Mine was clearer than the phone line.

In my state the question was about the week I worked, not the week I was paid. Read the wording on your form carefully, or ask the claims line.
