Layoff Services/WARN
- WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act )
Requires certain employers to give affected employees at least 60 days written advance notice of any plant closing or mass layoff.
- Rapid Response
Assistance is available for both employers and employees transitioning through downsizing or plant closures. Contact your local One-Stop Career Center for more information.
- Work Sharing - Alternative to Layoff
As a temporary alternative to layoffs, this program allows the payment of a prorated percentage of UI benefits to workers whose hours and wages are reduced. When business conditions improve, you can quickly gear up without the expense of recruiting, hiring, and training new employees. In turn, your employees are spared the hardship of full unemployment.
