The wage condition for all employees as of 1 July 2020 of $1500 per fortnight (x 2) must be met by 31 August 2020.

With respect to casual employees, check to confirm whether they satisfy the 12 month eligibility criteria as of 1 July 2020 (previously 1 March 2020).

Contact our office to discuss eligibility.  It’s business as usual.
