1. Start Fortnight Items

The ATO must be informed when the employee is first eligible for the JobKeeper payment.

This is only required to be used ‘once' for each employee in the first JobKeeper Pay Run you process.

If the employee is entitled to all 13 Fortnight Periods, you would select 'JobKeeper-Start-FN-01’ from the list.

If you have already processed a pay run between 30 Mar and 22 Apr, you can add the Pay Item 'JobKeeper-Start-FN-01’ to each employee in the next Pay Run.

Some employees may be on workers’ comp and return to work sometime after the start of the JobKeeper pay periods on 30 March.

In this scenario, select the fortnight pay item that falls within the date range of their return to work date.
