Job Salary Question

[misterll]

I know that, per the rules, we must create two 'jobs' - which are not specific to people, but the job must exist for one year.

That being said, if I am paying an employee 25k, and then they leave, can I hire someone else to continue doing the same job, but pay them something different, for example, 40k?

I want to make sure it will still count as the same job when combining the two. even though I would be paying different salaries.

In principle, yes, it shouldn't matter. And it is not a reason for refusal on its own.
However, if you are interviewed, be prepared to justify why the big difference for the same job. Have good reasons and rationale for that.

Thank you. I have one more question along similar lines.

I know that jobs created are supposed to be for 12 months. But the wording is a little ambiguous when it comes to the following situation:

What if I had two part time employees combining to 30 + hours for 3 months, and then they were replaced by a single employee working 30+ hours for the remaining 9 months. Can all three employees be combined to equal a single 12 month job?

You need a FT job for 12 months. So, if the two part time employees were doing work together on the same job, then yes it would make a FT job.

If they are doing different jobs or were not working at the same time, then they are separate jobs and cannot be combined with a FT employee.

The trouble I see here is that part time jobs can only be combined if they existed for 12 months.

Yes and hence it is very important the the Job Table be filled in with all the three employees in the same table. To combine more than one part time employee into a FT job, all of those PT employees have to be doing the same job and in the same period.
For example, if Employee 1 was working mornings and Employee 2 was working afternoons to fill one receptionist job for three months, then it can be combined with a full time employee working the whole day for the remaining nine months. That would satisfy the criteria of 12 months FT job.
