Exciting News from Labor and Industry - Shared Work Program Now In Effect

[from the Strategic Early Warning Network (SEWN) newsletter]


The Shared Work program allows an employer to temporarily reduce the work hours of a group of employees as an alternative to a layoff. Employees covered by the plan receive a percentage of the Unemployment Compensation Weekly Benefit Amount while they work the reduced schedule, if they are otherwise eligible for Unemployment Compensation.
