Are you or employers you know thinking about layoffs? The Work Sharing Program allows employers to instead reduce employees’ hours and wages while the California Employment Development Department (EDD) pays partial unemployment benefits. Employers can avoid the cost of hiring and training new employees when their business or the economy improves. This program has less impact on unemployment taxes than a full layoff, and it can positively affect employee morale and loyalty. It’s now fast, simple, and flexible to participate. In this webinar, you will learn what the Work Sharing Program is, how it can help employers and employees during tough economic times, about program eligibility, how to apply, managing the program and more!
