The Wisconsin Work-Share program avoids layoffs, allowing employers to retain trained staff during times of reduced business activity and employees to maintain benefits and remain employed.
Employers apply for a Work-Share plan and have it approved by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. Once in place, the Work-Share program benefits both employers and employees. Employers should apply for a Work-Share plan when they need to reduce hours for two or more employees between 10% and 60% of the normal hours per week for each employee.
