Hey all
I have a question regarding jobkeeper. I have contracted employment to work 24hrs/week perm part time with usual salary of ~$1800 per fortnight. My employer is applying for Jobkeeper and has now reduced my hours to 20hrs/week and this will equate to me earning ~$1500 per fortnight. In my perspective I wouldn't benefit with Jobkeeper.
My colleague on the other hand, is contracted to work 16hrs /week , her hours will be reduced to 12hrs/week and if jobkeeper payment comes through she will be eligible for the full $1500. Ultimately, I am working more hours than her but we will be paid the same amount. I feel this is unfair on my behalf. Am I able to request my employer to reduce my hours further , or to share the same amount of hours work between us?
