Rapid Response: Help for Businesses and Workers Facing Cutbacks & Layoffs
Shared Work

The Shared Work Program is designed to help employers manage business cycles and seasonal adjustments while helping to spare their workers the hardships of full unemployment. The program allows employers to keep trained employees and avoid layoffs by letting workers receive partial Unemployment Insurance benefits while working reduced hours.
