Hard time for small business now
Sometimes you just have to accept that some people can stay in your heart but not in your life
+1 this will be way forward for all people in essential services.
Heard, that all medical staffs who are asymptomatic need to do RAT before rendering support. They are slogging without holidays with lots of stress.. Bless them !
Looking at the way things are going, I think pretty soon there will not be any requirement to isolate even with a positive test result in their midst. They're already scaling back the close contact definition from 1 hour to 4 hours. That pretty much means only coworkers are included as close contacts, and not even all because some part timers only work half days.
And if I wanted to be smartarse about it, there's an easy way to completely protect my business from being shutdown for iso. I'd just hire more part timers and roster them so that all of them are on slightly less than 4 hour shifts (eg. 3.5 hours each), or stagger the rosters to eliminate any chance of 1 postive case shutting down the whole operation.
These strategies were never possible before the increase of 1 hour to 4 hour to define close contact.
I don’t think this will work brother GFM,
There is a clear shortage of labour right now in Sydney. Many business especially in the hospitality industry are desperate for staff. Many have to pay higher than Award rates, offer bonus and incentive to keep their staff .
Many casual or part time will not turn up if you roster them for less than 7/8 hour shifts.
It’s a fact, very tough to be a business owner these days.
Well at least they now have a choice. Risk complete shutdown or bite the bullet and pay the higher wages to attract more staff.
They could get a business loan to cover the extra costs. The banks and the Gov have been making changes to try to make it easier for businesses to borrow money.
In fact, this is exactly the intended purpose of the RBA's low interest rates. To allow more business loans. Instead, most of it has gone to bigger and bigger home loans.

The other success story which comes to mind is Marlene. She started out in ML land doing massage with extras at the place next door over 20 years ago. She moved into the current shop about 10 years ago, which is a licensed FS shop. Now she is a very successful and wealthy brothel madam.
Not sure about “earning an honest living though”. I would think tax evasion is not exactly honest. LOL
No. This is from NSW Fair Trading;
“A business has an obligation to provide proof of transaction to consumers for goods or services valued at $75 (excluding GST) or more. Businesses are also required to provide a receipt for any transaction under $75 within seven days, if the consumer asks for one.”
