Extension of time to enrol for the JobKeeper scheme
6 years ago
The Commissioner has extended the time to enrol for the initial JobKeeper periods, from 30 April 2020 until 31 May 2020.
If you enrol by 31 May 2020, you will still be able to claim for the JobKeeper fortnights ending in April and May, provided you meet all the eligibility requirements for each for those fortnights. This includes having paid your employees by the appropriate date for each fortnight.
For the first two fortnights (30 March – 12 April, 13 April – 26 April), we will accept the minimum $1,500 payment for each fortnight has been paid by you even if it has been paid late, provided it is paid by 8 May 2020. If you do not pay your staff by this date, you will not be able to claim JobKeeper for the first two fortnights.
You can enrol and claim for JobKeeper earlier if you choose. For example, you can enrol by the end of April to claim JobKeeper payments for the two fortnights in April.
You must send the JobKeeper employee nomination notice to all your nominated employees to complete and return to you by the end of May.
