OVERVIEW OF JOBKEEPER PROGRAM

• Under the JobKeeper Payment, businesses significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak will be able to access a subsidy from the Government to continue paying their employees.
• The Government will provide $1,500 per fortnight per employee for up to 6 months to eligible employers
• Employers (including non-for-profits) will be eligible for the subsidy if:
• Eligible employers will receive the payment for each eligible employee that was on their books on 1 March 2020 and continues to be engaged by that employer – including full-time, part-time, long-term casuals and stood down employees. Casual employees eligible for the JobKeeper Payment are those employees who have been with their employer on a regular basis for at least the previous 12 months as at 1 March 2020.
