during that period but was not paid to the person before the day on which the claim was lodged.
           Step 4. Add together the amounts worked out in Step 3. The result is called the person's seasonal work earnings.
           Step 5. Divide the person's seasonal work earnings by the amount of the relevant AWOTE for the calendar year in which the claim was lodged. The result is called the person's AWOTE weeks and represents the number of weeks (including any part of a week) that a person paid at a rate equal to the relevant AWOTE for that calendar year would have to work to earn an amount equal to the person's seasonal work earnings.
           Step 6. Work out the number of weeks in the person's relevant periods of seasonal work by dividing the total number of days included in those periods by 7. The result (including any part of a week) is called the person's seasonal work weeks.
           Step 6A. If there is a period between one relevant period of seasonal work and another, or between a relevant period of seasonal work and the day on which the claim was lodged, work out the number of weeks in the period (the intervening period). This is done by dividing the total number of days in the intervening period by 7.
           Step 6B. If there is more than one intervening period, add together the number of weeks worked out for each intervening period. The result (including any part of a week) is called the person's intervening weeks.
           Step 6C. Add together the number of seasonal work weeks worked out under Step 6 and the number of intervening weeks (if any) worked out under Step 6B. The result (including any part of a week) is called the person's self‑supported weeks.
           Step 7. Subtract the person's self‑supported weeks from the person's AWOTE weeks. The result (rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) is the number of weeks in the person's seasonal work preclusion period. If the result is a negative number, the number of weeks in the period is taken to be nil.

 (6) If:
 (a) the person is a member of a couple; and
 (b) the person was engaged in seasonal work at any time during the 6 months immediately before the day on which the person lodged the claim (the relevant period); and
 (c) the person's partner was not engaged in seasonal work at any time during the relevant period;
the number of weeks in the person's seasonal work preclusion period is worked out
