21.01.2022 Businesses: Do you have new employees who will now be eligible for the JobKeeper Payment?

21.01.2022 JobKeeper RULE CHANGE - 24/4/2020 Full time students aged 16 and 17 years old: As noted in the explanatory statement to the existing rules, the benefit of the JobKeeper payment to workers over the age of 16 is justified for those who are financially independent and who require the security provided by participation in the JobKeeper scheme and the maintenance of the working relationship that it affords. The rules will provide that full time students who are 17 years old and ...younger, and who are not financially independent, are not eligible for the JobKeeper Payment. This clarification will apply prospectively, which would mean an eligible employer that has already met the wage condition of paying such an employee $1,500 for a fortnight could be entitled to a JobKeeper Payment in arrears for that fortnight. You will have to retest every employee under 18. If the employer has paid them $1500 already they will be reimbursed, future payments will not be reimbursed. See more

07.01.2022 The Coronavirus Economic Response Bill (JobKeeper) passed both houses of Parliament on the 8th of April 2020, and it has also been given royal assent. The Bill has allowed Treasury to set out the details of how the JobKeeper package will work, and also allows the ATO to administer it. That said, the fact sheets are still being updated daily, and the ATO are still in the process of creating its own JobKeeper website: https://www.ato.gov.au/general/gen/JobKeeper-payment which ...has had an update today to include a massive amount of important information. The ATO have stated that you will be able to enrol in the JobKeeper Scheme from the 20th of April 2020 using an online form on their website. After you enrol you will be later asked to identify your specific eligible employees and you will then have 7 days to advise your employees that you have nominated them as an eligible employee. The employee must agree to be nominated by you and they must complete a JobKeeper Employee Nomination Notice. Section A is to be completed by the Employer and Section B through to D is to be completed by the employee. This is not to be sent to the ATO but a completed form must be kept on file. See more
