The Federal Government has now passed legislation for the Jobkeeper 2.0 package as part of its continued economic response to the Coronavirus.

The initial Jobkeeper payments package was a lifeline for many businesses to see them through the worst of the pandemic, lockdowns, and restrictions. With many businesses now on the road to recovery, the new version of Jobkeeper is harder to access and has reduced benefits, and is designed at supporting the most affected business in the most affected industries. During this event, we will take you through the complexities of the new arrangements which apply from October this year.

The new legislation has also made some of the flexible working arrangements available to businesses who no longer qualify for Jobkeeper. These are key tools for businesses in ensuring they have the right staff, working the right hours, to keep business functioning and be ready to scale up as more normal conditions return. Knowing whether you are eligible, and how to use the previsions will be essential for business leaders navigating the difficult months that still lie ahead.
