Do you know someone considering employee layoffs? Share this email and encourage them to attend an upcoming no-cost webinar to learn about the Work Sharing program and how it helps to retain skilled employees as a temporary, cost-effective alternative to layoffs.

Work Sharing is fast, simple, and flexible. With the Work Sharing program, the EDD pays partial unemployment benefits to employees when their employer has to cut work hours and wages. This benefits employers by avoiding the cost of hiring and training new employees when business or the economy improves.
