JobSaver Reconfirming Eligibility
Businesses receiving support will need to reconfirm eligibility fortnightly and payment should be received within a week.
September payments will be processed without further info being required.
There are 3 possible testing options.
You are able to confirm all the fortnights you are eligible for – receiving a large payment in one fortnight will not stop you receiving payments for future fortnights if your turnover falls again. You do not need to reapply if you are ineligible for a fortnight.
JobSaver & Micro Business Grant in NSW
More info on the sudden changes to the Service NSW JobSaver & Micro Business Grants is expected to be released on Monday.
We hope to learn if you can re-enter the scheme if trading declines after it gets better.
Will declarations delay payments? If fortnight ends on a Sunday and payment is expected on a Monday – will small businesses be waiting longer?
Tradesmen Day
The 3rd Friday in September is reserved to honour tradies – are you taking an RDO to celebrate yourselves?
Or will a day off the tools give you a chance to catchup on the books? How frustrating!
Contact us if you’ve decided you’d rather be on the tools than stuck behind the desk.
Online Learning Day
Right now online learning may be your only option – our favourite way to learn online is in a watch party – swapping notes with our colleagues helps us to get clear with what we are hearing (or yell out that the presenter is wrong!!)
Changes to JobSaver make front page news
Late on Friday Service NSW announced surprise changes to the JobSaver Program.
Businesses will need to retest fortnightly for payments to continue.
Bookkeepers and accountants think this will cause hardship and extra expense for small businesses.

JobSaver Urgent Urgent Update
JobSaver & Micro Business Grant fortnightly payments will go out today as scheduled.
Bookkeepers & accountants and their associations are pushing back on these new unrealistic hoops we being asked to jump through – without warning.
At this stage – do nothing.
Urgent Update – JobSaver and Micro Business Grant
You may or may not have received an email from Service NSW about confirming your eligibility for JobSaver or Micro Business Grant. Despite the email suggesting you can opt out if you no longer require the payments, when you login you will discover you are being asked to retest your turnover for the past fortnight (fortnight-ish, its only a 13 day period). This new testing contradicts assurances from Service NSW that payments would continue until restrictions are eased.
