What's the Massachusetts Workshare Program?

The Massachusetts Workshare Program is a way for a company to cut staff hours without laying people off completely. The company has a much better chance of keeping skilled employees during slow times, while the employees collect a paycheck for the hours they actually work plus pro-rated unemployment benefits for the hours they've been cut. Follow the More Information link below for an overview of the program and links to the appropriate pages at the mass.gov website.
