JobMaker: how your business can take advantage

If your business is thinking of hiring new staff, now is the time, the Government will pay employers a subsidy of sorts for each eligible young worker employed over the next 12 months. The amount of the payment depends on the age of the employee, but may be up to $200 per week for those aged 16 to 29. The rules are not overtly complex, but the scheme is limited to certain types of employees and there are several key conditions that apply to both employers and the new employees so care should be taken.
