Introduction:

These instructions apply to Eclipse Payroll when configured for STP1. They do not apply for STP2. 

We handle JobMaker in much the same way as JobKeeper.


Eclipse Setup:

Step 1:

Create an Allowance that can be used to NOMINATE an Employee for JobMaker.

  • Allowance Name: JMHC-NOM
  • Allowance Description: JobMaker
  • Allowance Amount: 0.01 (cents)
  • Allowance Type: Other
  • Allowance must be subject to Tax
  • Allowance Shown on PAYG Summary.
  • Allowance is NOT part of Gross.
  • Super is not paid on Allowance


Step 2:

Create an Allowance that can be used to indicate the Employee has worked the minimum hours required to receive JobMaker.

  • Allowance Name: JMHC-Pxx (where XX ins the JobMaker Period - see below).
  • Allowance Description: JobMaker
  • Allowance Amount: 0.01 (cents)
  • Allowance Type: Other
  • Allowance must be subject to Tax
  • Allowance Shown on PAYG Summary.
  • Allowance is NOT part of Gross.
  • Super is not paid on Allowance
  • You will need to create a separate Allowance for EACH JMHC period that you plan to claim for (see below)


Step 3:

Assign the JMHC-NOM Allowance to any Employee you wish to claim the JobMaker for

Assign the relevant JMHC-Pxx Allowance to any Employee you wish to claim the JobMaker for in the relevant Period.


Step 4:

In the Payrun for any eligible Employee you wish to NOMINATE for JobMaker:

  • Assign the JMHC-NOM Allowance to them.
  • This only needs to be done once per Employee (irrespective of the number of Periods you will claim for).
  • You should send this through when the eligible Employee is first Employed and within the JMHC period to be claimed.


Step 5

In the Payrun for any eligible Employee you are planning to CLAIM JobMaker for:

  • Assign the JMHC-Pxx Allowance to them - making sure you choose the correct Allowance for the Period in question.
  • This only needs to be done ONCE per Employee and JMHC period you are claiming for.
  • You must send this code through STP before the end of the relevant JMHC Period.
