    FIS is calculated on gross pay and you social welfare payment and your shares. Add all this up for the year and divide by 52, if thats less than €602, then you may get a payment.

    You can dismiss most of the above.FIS is calculated on net pay(they usually use P60 or Gross to date from payslips/employer info) and your shares aren't taking into account as a income.Your social welfare payment is taking into account.
    Add net pay + social welfare and take away from €602,they then give you 60% of the difference(min payment of €20)

    Its all on the link on post 2 or check out the 2 threads on here.
