The Connecticut Department of Labor’s Shared Work Program helps businesses prevent layoffs by allowing them to temporarily reduce employee hours and use partial unemployment benefits to supplement lost wages.
Business can retain a talented workforce during economic downturns—rather than laying off the workforce and having to recruit, hire, and train new labor when the economy recovers – Shared Work employers can reduce overhead by temporarily cutting hours. Their employees keep their jobs at a reduced schedule, keep their benefits, and are able to file for partial unemployment benefits for the lost wages.
