NAT 032/20: COVID 19: Australian Government JobKeeper scheme: Amendments to the Fair Work Act:

Legislation has been passed by Parliament temporarily amending the Fair Work Act 2009 (FW Act) to support the practical operation of the Australian Government’s JobKeeper scheme in Australian workplaces. Ai Group was involved in the development of the legislation and we worked hard to achieve a successful outcome for Members. In addition, many of the provisions in the legislation are based on concepts included in the COVID-19 schedule recently inserted into the Clerks – Private Sector Award by agreement between Ai Group, ACCI, the ACTU and the Australian Services Union.
