Key points

Eligible employers:

can register with us from 6 December 2020 (see Registering for JobMaker Hiring Credit)
can claim payments from us in arrears from 1 February 2021 (see JobMaker Hiring Credit key dates)
can claim payments for eligible additional employees for up to 12 months from their employment start date
cannot claim JobKeeper and the JobMaker Hiring Credit payment at the same time.

From 15 January 2021, we will write to employers who have registered for the JobMaker Hiring Credit scheme and encourage them to check they meet all eligibility criteria before they claim. This will help ensure:

eligible employers can make a claim from 1 February 2021
there are no delays in their payments being processed.

Claiming the JobMaker Hiring Credit payment can affect an employer's eligibility for other government support payments. See Eligibility for other government support payments

Employers that are not eligible to claim the JobMaker Hiring Credit may be able to claim other support payments from the Department of Education, Skills and EmploymentExternal Link.
