Shared Work Program: A Smart Alternative to Layoffs

Shared Work Program is an employer plan that retains skilled workers, reduces payroll costs, and flexes based on workload. It is ideal for times of economic downturn, backlogged supply, lost customers, or road construction hindrances. Eligible employees collect partial unemployment benefits without job search requirements, earning more than if laid off. A 2016 survey indicated high satisfaction rates among participants, with reduced costs, intact trained workforce, and boosted morale. Employers endorse this Business Friendly Program for its benefits. Contact Shared Work at esd.wa.gov/shared-work or 800-752-2500 to keep your doors open and business dream alive!
