Full transcript
Congratulations on the new role at Bunnings Warehouse in Dubbo—when do you actually start, and have you signed the employment contract yet?
Sim, assinei o contrato ontem e começo na segunda-feira. Ainda não sei muito bem como funciona isso de informar os ganhos ao Centrelink.
Once you're earning, you'll need to report your income to Centrelink through myGov every fortnight, on your own personal reporting date, not just once when you start.
Entendi, mas como é que eu descubro qual é a minha data de relatório? Isso muda toda vez ou é sempre a mesma?
Your reporting date is shown on your Centrelink online account—it repeats every fourteen days, and you'll usually get a text message reminder before it's due.
O problema é que recebo o pagamento toda semana, não a cada quinze dias. Isso vai complicar quando eu tiver que informar ao Centrelink?
That's completely fine—just report whatever amount you were actually paid during that fortnight, even if a payslip covers a slightly different week.
E se eu esquecer de fazer isso numa dessas datas? Isso já aconteceu com uma amiga minha e ela teve problemas.
If you miss your reporting date, your payment could be suspended until you report, so it's worth setting a phone reminder each fortnight.
Certo, vou colocar um lembrete no telefone. E preciso guardar os holerites como prova, ou isso não é necessário?
You don't need to email anything at all—just upload your payslips directly through myGov or the Centrelink app whenever you're asked.
Perfeito, muito obrigada pela explicação. Isso esclareceu bastante e agora me sinto mais tranquila para começar o novo emprego.
