Quick Employer Guide
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has drastically shifted the course of life across the globe in 2020. As well as the global health crisis, each country now faces an economic one.
The JobKeeper scheme, described by the Prime Minister as “the biggest economic lifeline in Australia’s history” is aimed at preserving the employer-employee relationship, keeping more businesses in business and more people in jobs.
With JobKeeper 1.0 having been utilised by almost a million businesses, supporting 3.5 million Australians and following Treasury’s review of the scheme, JobKeeper has been extended until 28 March 2021, albeit in a revised form. The second phase of JobKeeper, to begin from 28 September 2020 targets support to businesses and not-for-profits that continue to be significantly impacted by COVID-19.
CCIQ and ACCI have prepared this guide on JobKeeper 2.0, which seeks to explain and answer some of the more common questions employers may have around the payment scheme and related Fair Work Act flexibilities.
