Job Keeper Payment

30 March 2020

Yesterday the government announced a new payment to support business to keep workers employed.

In summary, if the business has a turnover under $1 billion and this turnover has reduced by more than 30% due to the impact of the coronavirus (or 50% if over $1 billion), then each eligible employee will be entitled to a fortnightly payment of $1,500 before tax. The subsidy will commence from the 30/3/20 and be for a maximum of 6 months, with first payments being made in the first week of May.  


An eligible employee is: 

 

  • Someone who is currently employed by the eligible employer, including those stood down or re-hired,
  • Were employed by the employer at 1/3/20
  • Are full time, part time, or long term casuals (a long term casual is someone employed on a regular basis for longer than 12 months as at 1/3/20)
  • Are at least 16 years of age
  • Are an Australian citizen, the holder of a permanent visa, a Protected Special Category Visa Holder, a non-protected Special Category Visa Holder who has been residing continually in Australia for 10 years or more, or a Special Category (Subclass 444) Visa Holder; and
  • Are not in receipt of a JobKeeper Payment from another employer.  

 

The payment is also available to businesses without employees, such as the self-employed.
