Stage three of the Government’s response to COVID-19
The Prime Minister has announced the third instalment of the Coronavirus Economic Support package, 标记为JobKeeper Payment. 总之, 每两周1美元的工资补贴,500 per eligible employee is available for a 6 month period to employers affected by the coronavirus pandemic. The employer must pass this payment on to their employees. One of the key challenges is that the subsidy from the Government is paid in arrears, so employers will need to continue to operate their payroll at the appropriate levels to qualify.
