Does anyone know why self-employed people aren't eligible for WFF? Does that ever change, like couldn't they just pay out annually once you have your business paperwork filed? -------------  |

I got WFF and we own our own business....had to do it lump sum at the end of the finanicial year, got paid about a month ago. Our accountant did it as part of all the other stuff. I also got PPL as a self employed person. -------------

We are self employed and get WFF - I even get it paid out fortnightly... I just estimate our income and it comes in...
Accountant has sorted out other payments (PPL etc) but I wanted the WFF for fortnightly so sorted it myself. (They think I would be better to have lump sum to avoid over payment) ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids
