Wage reporting when hours change weekly after 18 years as a copywriter

I picked up part-time shifts as a copywriter and I am confused about how to report them. It has been weighing on me all week. Pay posts on a different day from when I work. 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.

Report honestly and keep your stubs. An honest small error is much easier to fix than a missing report.
