For eg my son has a full time casual job at SAJC but didn't get anything from them but gets $1500pf gross from Adeladie Oval despite not having done a days work there in 4 months because he's been employed there casually more than 12 months occasionally doing 3-5 hours a week.
I get nothing despite being employed almost full time casual for the last 2.5 years but if I'd kept my job at Adelaide Oval working once every 6 months I would have got the full $1500pf.
Its ridiculous.
Add to that if I'd stayed with the Entertainment Centre I wouldn't have got a cent either (government owned).
Don't blame the people that get it or the businesses using it, blame the ridiculous implemenation of it by an incompetent government. A great idea but an absolute dog's breakfast as far as eligibility goes.
That's incorrect Wedgie, if you have a permanent (full time or part time) job with one employer you can't get the Jobkeeper for your casual Job regardless. Check the ATO website.
Of course you can't get it if you are still working and getting paid from a permanent job with someone else, that's a no brainer, I wasn't referring to people in that situation. I was referring to the comment that it has to be your "main job" which it doesn't as per the example I provided.
A lot of SANFL footballers don't have full time jobs that would still be operational, they might go to Uni or work casually in hospitality, as groundskeepers, as PTs, as tradies, marketing and various jobs other jobs for sponsors that aren't permanent.
Football clubs are part time casual employers of footballers in the SANFL, they're perfectly entitled to pay Job Keeper's payment like any other employer that is no longer paying their part time casual employees because of a 30/50% downturn in business.
