Business SA will hold a webinar tomorrow looking into what the $130 billion Job Keeper package means for South Australian companies.
After advocating strongly for a wage subsidy for South Australian businesses crippled by coronavirus, Business SA has welcomed the historic passing of the Federal Government’s JobKeeper package.
Business SA chief executive Martin Haese said the new legislation will allow SA businesses to go into hibernation with hope of a strong recovery on the other side of COVID-19.
“As the independent peak industry body for all SA businesses, we have been lobbying daily at the State level and through the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the national level for immediate and practical measures to help businesses,” he said.
“We commend both sides of politics for ensuring this historic and vital legislation passed through parliament.
“The JobKeeper package will save SA businesses, there is no doubt about it.
“While we welcome the legislation, we know that there is still a high level of confusion in the business community around implementation of the scheme.
“Our Business Advisory Hotline has been inundated with calls from businesses seeking advice on the JobKeeper package – on eligibility, timing and sole trader questions.
“This is why we have fast tracked our third Business Resilience Webinar, which will focus specifically on breaking down the JobKeeper package for businesses.”
Business SA’s third Business Resilience Webinar, JobKeeper Package – let’s break it down for you will be held tomorrow at 9:30am.

“The webinar will provide business owners with a clear pathway for decision making when deciding whether to retain staff through JobKeeper payments or to consider alternative measures,” Mr Haese said.
“A panel of industry experts will discuss whether these payments are a viable option in terms of cashflow and how best to approach the rehiring process.”
The free one-hour webinar will also cover what employers should do if measures for business shut down have already taken place.
