Yes. The full exemption will apply to the first $5,000 of income, and a partial exemption will apply at a rate of 50% up to $10,000, beyond $5,000.
For example, if you have $7,000 of employment income, for GIS purposes, we will ignore the first $5,000 completely and we will exempt an additional $1,000, so 50% of the additional $2,000 beyond $5,000. Thus, you have $6,000 that will not be taken into consideration when we calculate the guaranteed income supplement.
