There are fears millions of workers will miss out on JobKeeper payments available to staff who are losing work during the coronavirus pandemic.So who is covered and how is the JobKeeper scheme going to work?

The JobKeeper scheme is worth 130 billion dollars and it'll provide businesses affected by the coronavirus emergency with $1500 a fortnight for each staff member over six months.

 An estimated six million Australians will receive the money but some unions say up to 2.2 million workers have been left out of the JobKeeper scheme.
