-- Leading process automation software vendor Nintex has quickly turned the 
Federal Government's JobKeeper nomination process into a fully digital solution 
and is making it available to employers at no cost 

Nintex today announced the company has launched a completely automated solution 
to help Australian organisations expedite their participation in the Federal 
Government's JobKeeper $130 billion payment scheme. By turning the government's 
paper-based nomination process into a powerful and easy-to-use automated 
workflow solution, Nintex is digitally transforming the way Australian 
employers and their employees complete the necessary documentation to secure 
wage benefits.

"We're committed to improving processes through automation as well as ensuring 
a process-centric mindset is at the centre of business thinking," says 
Christian Lucarelli, Vice President, Sales APAC, Nintex.  

"By digitising the JobKeeper nomination process Nintex is delivering on our 
mission to improve the way people work with collaborative, automated solutions 
that deliver rapid results."

The automated JobKeeper Payment Scheme solution from Nintex is available to 
organisations across Australia for free. To learn more, visit

How the JobKeeper Payment Scheme works

In order to qualify for the JobKeeper scheme employers must receive agreement 
from every employee before nominating them for the subsidy.  At present, the 
Australian Tax Office (ATO) supports different methods for the processing of 
employee nominations, which include downloading a paper-based Word document or 
PDF form from the ATO website. Both versions have a signature box on the form 
which requires paper, printing, signing, scanning, and emailing of the final 
document. This time-intensive process also requires employers to manually sift 
through hundreds or thousands of PDF attachments in emails to classify and 
store these files.

Now with the fully automated JobKeeper employee nomination process solution 
from Nintex, paper and manual steps are eliminated from the nomination process. 
To build its automated JobKeeper solution, Nintex leveraged several of the core 
automation capabilities of the Nintex Process Platform including: Nintex Forms, 
Nintex Workflow and Nintex Sign™ powered by Adobe Sign for capturing 
eSignatures. 

The basis for Nintex's digital nomination process is a ready-to-use, 
downloadable JobKeeper Employee Nomination template form ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2792132-1&h=139582987&u=https%3A%2F%2Fgallery.nintex.com%2F5e9e0cb2e15ad600452fa79b%2FJobKeeper%2520Employee%2520Nomination&a=downloadable+JobKeeper+Employee+Nomination+template+form 
). The form is designed to be easily launched with a customer's own Nintex 
Workflow Cloud environment and is optimised for mobile devices to make it 
easier for all participants to complete the required information including 
electronic signatures.

With Nintex, employers can also quickly configure their own workflow and store 
completed forms in a centralised content management system or on a company 
intranet, route them to a central email address, or simply store them in an 
electronic file store to share on completion.  

Nintex's Australian partners are lending support to organisations with the 
deployment of the automated workflow solution, providing a value-add to their 
existing service agreements. Here is what three of them had to say:

 --     "Helping our clients respond quickly to the current situation with
        new ways of working has been key for us over the past few weeks, and
        the Nintex JobKeeper offering is a perfect example of a solution that
        allows our clients to rapidly and cost effectively digitise what
        could otherwise be a manual, time consuming process."
        Rodney Barrell, Victorian Regional Lead at Empired 
 --     "With a rapidly changing environment through the COVID-19 crisis,
        Nintex has enabled our clients to rapidly build automation and
        workflows to address compliance and process gaps. This has been
        pivotal in work-from-home compliance and JobKeeper processes which
        were built in hours, not days." Cameron Smith, Executive General
        Manager Digital Transformation at SXiQ 
 --     "Your mobile workforce isn't locked down by their location or their
        device – productivity flows everywhere with the right tools. These
        same tools can support the initiatives rolled out by the Australian
        government. Based on the Nintex technologies, the JobKeeper
        onboarding process can be simplified and streamlined for all making
        it easy for everyone involved to obtain the benefits of this
        program." Nick Barbagiannopoulos, National Manager of Digital
        Automation at Ricoh Australia
