Still confused with the new JobKeeper updates?

As many of you have heard the Government has announced an extension of the JobKeeper Payment until 28 March 2021 which is great news for many small businesses. Although, it can be a bit overwhelming what you need to change for the next set of JobKeeper payments. So have a quick look below and then head to our JobKeeper help section for a more step-by-step guide.

The announcement included new rules relating to payroll/payslips that have a payment date of 28 September or later.

For this period, the old rate of $1500 per fortnight is replaced with two JobKeeper tiers:

• Tier 1 - $1,200 per fortnight for eligible employees and business participants working 20 hours or more per week on average, reducing to $1,000 from 04/01/21
• Tier 2 - $750 per fortnight for other eligible employees and business participants, reducing to $650 from 04/01/21.

Businesses will also need to reassess their eligibility based on actual turnover for the September quarter, and then the December quarter.
