Hey Gak. Still working but expect to be "stood down" in a week or so as the work is steadily declining.
We produce food-packaging and pharma-packaging but that component it's not enough to keep all hands on deck.
Aust Fed is paying $750 per week per employee to any business that stands workers down. The business then pays the employee as if they are still working.
My employer will pay me full wages if I am stood down (which I will be) and accept the Fed payment as a top up. That's a good deal IMHO.
Many workers will only receive the $750 and if you can't make do on that in these trying times then I have no sympathy.
We will be paying for this for a long long time but I can't say I have any better ideas.
