Prime Minister Scott Morrison is standing firm on maintaining the JobKeeper eligibility date at March 1 amid calls to shift the date ahead of the second round of the wage subsidy scheme.

Industry and unions have called for the eligibility date to be brought forward to July 22 due to fears employees hired after March 1 would no longer be able to receive JobKeeper payments. The move was prompted by fears businesses could be forced to carry out large-scale job cuts, which would force many people onto the JobSeeker scheme, if they could not prove a 30 per cent drop in revenue at the end of September.
