Hi, I been stood down with employer A and is on jobkeeper.
Because my employer has no idea when to reopen, Im looking for jobs but would like to keep my primary job.
Am I allow to have a second job?
Will it affect my jobkeeper with employer A?
Does it matters if the second job is casual, partime or fulltime, or how much I earn?
Thank you!

You are only eligible once, if you work two jobs you need to choose which one you need to claim JobKeeper through and then you need to inform your second employer to exclude you from their scheme.

Thank you, but what I want to know is that if I found a second and is fulltime, getting normal fulltime pay, will this affect my JK with employer A.
Hi @tomnook
Thanks for your post.
You can earn additional income without your eligibility being affected as long as you maintain your employment (including while being stood down) with your JobKeeper-eligible employer.
As mentioned by @KatieAcacia , this scenario is answered in the JobKeeper-Payment Employees FAQ .
Thanks
JoA
