- SHARED
WORK - Your company's most valuable assets are your employees.
The Shared Work program is an option for employers faced with a
layoff; it allows an employer to divide available hours of work
among a group of employees instead of a full layoff. Affected employees
may then receive partial unemployment insurance benefits while working
reduced hours. By participating in the Shared Work program, an employer
can maintain morale, productivity and flexibility in the work place
and keep a trained and experienced staff. For
more information contact Jim Rickey, Program Coordinator, MN Dept.
of Economic Security, 390 North Robert St., St Paul, MN 55105. Telephone
651.296.8727 FAX: 651.297.4501or e-mail jim.rickey@state.mn.us
