Work Sharing

   


At some point, temporary business slowdowns affect most businesses and industries.

Participation in Massachusetts’ WorkSharing Program is your alternative to layoffs that are disruptive, both to you as an employer and to your workforce.

WorkSharing allows workers in an entire company, a company department, or even a small unit within the company to share reduced work hours while also collecting unemployment insurance benefits to supplement their reduced wages.

 

By participating in WorkSharing, you:

  • Keep your skilled workers
  • Maintain the continuity of your skilled workforce
  • Stay prepared for your business’s upswing because your workforce remains in place
  • Avoid the time and expense of training new employees when business does increase
  • Preserve workforce productivity by avoiding the insecurity and organizational disruption that are characteristic of layoffs
