employment) is not entered.

System Response

No adjustment takes place, because the adjustment would result in an HI
max. of 0. This represents the initial value of the field, however, and
is the equivalent of leaving it blank. If concurrent employment is not
entered, however, a blank field means that contributions can be
calculated for pension payments up to the income threshold.
