Retain Your Skilled Workforce During
Tough Economic Times
 
 
Learn about the Shared-Work program, a unique alternative to lay offs that allows businesses to reduce the work hours of full-time employees while workers collect partial unemployment benefits to replace a portion of their lost wages. 
 
The Shared-Work program reduces your payroll costs and keeps your skilled work force intact while sparing employees the hardships of full unemployment. 
 
Workshop will feature Bill McDonald, Manager of Employment Security Department's Shared Work program.
