As last week was the end of term we didnt have as much on so i only did 18hrs, 5 of that at what we call wait time where you get half rate for waiting for the return trip, but was under the impression id get one more pay at the full rate. Didnt happen because our pay wasnt processed by Sunday night so i only received the amount for the 18hrs worked which was $390 clear, as i said not complaining, just wasnt expecting a $265 shortfall this week.

Your employer isn't required to pay your superannuation contributions either if you're being paid the $750 or less per week. If your wages were greater than $750p/w, and job keeper was used as a top up or subsidy, then your employer has to pay your superannuation. Chances are, you're employer is also getting the cash boost grants and has had a 6 month holiday paying IAS. Some businesses have actually benefited from this program.
