Work Share provides an alternative for complete layoffs. With Work Share, instead of reducing staff, an employer reduces the hours of work for a group of workers. Partial Unemployment Insurance benefits are then paid to supplement workers' reduced wages.
How Does It Work?
I can have someone from the WorkShare unit reach out to you for more information.
Include all communications and attempts to communicate in box below.
I work for WorkSource Rogue Valley and recently heard of a possible layoff at your facility [you can add how the report was made, e.g. from a past employee, news, WARN or Trade Act]. I am sorry to hear about the situation and would like to confirm the layoff. If the layoffs are occurring, we would like to offer important free services for affected employees (including help registering for Oregon Unemployment Insurance (and other financial support options), healthcare insurance options, and re-employment assistance or training.
If someone could call me at [XXX-XXX-XXXX], I can provide additional information. I can also email resources that you can share with your employees.
Again, we are sorry to hear about the news and want to support your workers in any way we can.
It is [date] and again, my phone number is [XXX-XXX-XXXX].
