Extension of JobKeeper provisions in the Fair Work Act
As well as the extension of the JobKeeper scheme, the JobKeeper provisions in the Fair Work Act have been extended with some changes. This includes the extension of some provisions to employers who no longer receive JobKeeper payments under the extended scheme. These employers are known as ‘legacy employers’. Legacy employers need to meet certain criteria, including at least a 10% decline in turnover for a certain period.
