March 30, 2020

The government will pay employers to keep employees with a new Job-Keeper Payment

The federal government has announced a new $1,500 per fortnight payment for employees of businesses who are suffering a downturn.

Any small business whose turnover has fallen by 30% or more will be eligible. Eligible employees include:

  • Full time workers
  • Part time workers
  • Casuals over 12 months
  • Sole traders

The payments will be made by the ATO to employers to pass on to their employees. Any employee who was on the books as at 1 March 2020. Payments will flow from 1 May 2020 and be backdated to 30 March 2020. Employees who have previously been stood down will still be eligible.
