Computation

A total count of participants that have been in each of the targeted compliance framework zones for the report period, as calculated by counting the number of active demerits that each participant has associated with their participant identifier, and then using those counts to allocate them to a zone.

Disaggregation

This calculation is disaggregated by participant cohort and employment service program.

Participant: Contract type, Label: As this is a static report, this calculation is reproduced for each of the employment services programs across multiple tables: 

  • Table 1 is where the contract type is 'Workforce Australia Online',
  • Table 2 is where the contract type is 'Workforce Australia Services',
  • Table 3 is where the contract type is 'ParentsNext'.

Computation

A total count of participants that have been in each of the targeted compliance framework zones for the report period, as calculated by counting the number of active demerits that each participant has associated with their participant identifier, and then using those counts to allocate them to a zone.

0 Active demerits Green Zone: Participants commence in the Green Zone with no demerits and remain in this zone unless they commit a Mutual Obligation Requirement Failure without a valid reason and begin to accrue Demerits. Participant will not face financial penalties in this zone, unless they commit Work Refusal or Unemployment Failures.
1 to 5 Active demerits

Warning Zone: Participants enter the warning zone upon accrual of their first demerit. Each failure without a valid reason in the warning zone will result in a payment suspension and accrual of a demerit. Participants will not incur financial penalties in this zone, unless they commit work refusal or unemployment failures.

At three demerits, a participant will attend a Capability Interview; at five, they will attend a Capability Assessment. Participants may also be fast-tracked to the equivalent point for failure to attend or behave appropriately at a job interview or for failure to act on a job referral.

Participants will exit the warning zone and return to the green zone with zero demerits when:

  • All of their demerits expire (I.E. The participant meets all of their requirements for six active months) or
  • The participant is found at a Capability Interview or Capability Assessment to not be capable of meeting the requirements in their job plan.
>5 Active demerits

Penalty Zone: Participants enter the Penalty Zone after accruing five demerits and face financial penalties, with penalties increasing for each subsequent failure. Participants exit the Penalty Zone with zero demerits after meeting all of their mutual obligations requirements for three active months. 

  • 1st penalty - loss of 50 per cent of their fortnightly payment for their first failure 
  • 2nd penalty - loss of 100 per cent of their fortnightly payment for their second failure,
  • 3rd penalty - participant will have their payment cancelled for their third failure and must serve a four-week non-payment period.
