Shared Work

Overview

Businesses of all sizes face downturns of all kinds — and you might think you have to resort to layoffs. Connecticut Department of Labor's Shared Work program offers an alternative — a way to keep your skilled workers on the job while reducing the financial pressure on your business. Instead of cutting employees, you cut hours, enabling employees to collect unemployment for the time they’ve lost. See why a majority of employers who’ve used this program would do so again.
