When part of your work during a pay period is covered by and part excluded from Social Security and all of the work is being performed for one employer, the following rules apply:
All of your work in that pay period is covered if 50 percent or more of your time during the pay period is spent in covered work; and
All of your work in that pay period is excluded if more than 50 percent of your time during the pay period is spent in excluded work.
The term pay period means the period of not more than 31 consecutive calendar days for which the employer ordinarily pays the employee. Where there are seasonal fluctuations, there may be one customary seasonal pay period and another customary non-seasonal pay period.
