Commonly asked Questions

What happens if I don't have the money to continue paying my employees until the payments are made?

The JobKeeper Payment is a reimbursement scheme that will be paid by the ATO monthly in arrears.

In cases where this may present cash flow difficulties, those businesses may want to speak to their bank to discuss their options. The bank have said businesses may be able to use the upcoming JobKeeper payment as a basis to seek credit in order to pay their employees until the scheme is making its first payments.

I'm still working and i earn less than $1,500 per fortnight before tax. How much will I receive?

For eligible employees, if you receive less than $1,500 in income per fortnight before tax, your employer must pay you, at a minimum, $1,500 per fortnight, before tax. Your employer will continue to pay you your ordinary income according to your prevailing workplace arrangements and provide a 'top-up' so you receive $1,500 per fortnight, before tax.
