Workshare IL: Protecting Your Workers During Tough Times

Description

A decline in business often means tough choices to raise prices, reduce stock, or even lay off employees. Workshare IL is a voluntary program designed to help when the going gets tough by providing an alternative to layoffs. Through this program, employees in affected units will continue to work at reduced hours, with unemployment benefits offsetting the reduction in earnings.
 
This program may be a win-win for your business. You avoid layoffs and the turnover costs associated with them, and your employees maintain employment while receiving their benefits.
 
Tory Davis, the business services manager with the Illinois Department of Employment Security, will share how you can enroll in Workshare IL now and what enrolling can mean for your business and employees. While we hope your business thrives so you never have to use the program, knowing your future viable options will save you headaches. Register today.
