- 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
