Stop-gap employment definition
Stop-gap employment means work which an applicant does only because he has lost the customary work for which his training, experience or work history qualifies him. Employment would be considered “stop-gap” if the salary is substantially below the salary of the applicant's primary occupation and if he is working substantially under the skill level of his customary occupation. Regard- less of the number of hours devoted to the stop-gap work activity, it is considered odd-job work outside the cus- tomary occupation for which he is qualified.
