Hello all.

I had a question regarding the job creation criteria which the guidance is not really clear about.
I have created 2 jobs job A and job B. For job A I have a person that has worked for full time for months so no issues here. For Job B, it has existed for 12 months but the first two months I had two employees C and D working part-time and combined they exceed the 30 hours per week. Employee D continued from month 3 onwards as full time.

My question is, is it fine to combine employee C and D for the first 2 months of that job and count them as 2 months of full time in addition to the 10 months that employee D worked?

Simply put, can I combine part-time hours for the same job? The guidance does not say anything about combining for the same job but says that I cannot combine from different jobs if they have not existed for 12 months each.

I appreciate your help as always.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your prompt response marcnath, much appreciated.

I had another question if it is not too much trouble.

In my last extension I relied on the rule of the furloughed employees counting towards the 12 months job creation. is that considered getting the extension under covid concession? If so does that mean I will have to create 4 full time jobs for 12 months or 2 jobs for 24 months?

it's worth noting I did not apply to get a temporary extension for covid related reasons but I did say that the business was impacted by covid and that I will rely on the furlough rule.

Thanks again for your help!
