• Employees (other than casuals) who have been employed after 1 March 2020 but by 1 July 2020;
• Casual employees who did not meet the definition of a long-term casual employee by 1 March 2020,
  but did on 1 July 2020 (i.e. have now been employed for 12 months); and
• Employees who did not meet the residency requirement on 1 March 2020, but did on 1 July 2020.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In terms of the wage condition for the fortnights commencing on 3 and 17 August 2020, employers have until 31 August 2020 to meet the wage condition for new employees.
