Job Keeper Rorts
The Briefing23 Jul 2020

Job Keeper Rorts

Today we take a deep dive on JobKeeper rorts and the bosses taking advantage during the pandemic. Common issues include workers being forced to change hours and duties to receive JobKeeper, and workers being pressured into accepting JobKeeper on the employer’s terms. Since the scheme began in March the Australian Tax office has received more than 6168 tip offs about JobKeeper payment issues, and the Fair Work Ombudsman has received 726 requests for assistance.

In today's episode we speak to some workers who fall under JobKeeper's provisions and Giri Sivaraman, a Principal lawyer at Maurice Blackburn.

In today's headlines:

  • A quarter of a million more people will lose their jobs by Christmas
  • Man in his 50s one of five new Victorian deaths as $300 hardship payment introduced
  • Twitter confirms private messages accessed in high profile hack of Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Kanye West
  • Bill Gates “doesn’t know” where Covid-19 microchip conspiracy theory came from

On today's Briefing we ask: Is your employer allowed to force you into a different role or hours on JobKeeper? What should you do if you're being forced to change hours on JobKeeper? What should you do if you're being forced to change duties on JobKeeper? Are you forced to accept JobKeeper?
