NYSDOL Highlights Shared Work Program

Sep 9, 2024

Per the notice below, the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) is highlighting its Shared Work Program and its free job recruitment services.

We Are Your DOL - New York State Department of Labor

Time for a business health check!

We're hearing that many healthcare businesses in New York are still reeling from the recent cyberattack.  Is your business facing similar challenges?  Disruptions like these can cause significant operational setbacks, from delayed payments for services to financial strain, staffing issues, and even long-term threats to your business's success.  The Shared Work Program is designed to help your business overcome short-term challenges like this, providing the assistance you need to maintain stability and continue moving forward.  It’s a solution that provides the opportunity to:

Save Labor Dollars - Adjust employee hours as needed.  Employees working reduced hours receive less pay from your business (saving you money) AND a percentage of their unemployment benefits.
Retain Employees - Cutting hours means you don’t have to cut personnel.  You keep valued employees on the job while also avoiding the cost and challenges of recruiting new ones in a tight labor market.
Increase Flexibility - Reduce or increase hours on a weekly basis, if needed, to meet your operational needs.
Thrive in the Future - With your team in place, you’ll be well positioned to handle future growth by simply increasing hours when your business can support it.

The Shared Work Program has already helped thousands of businesses across New York State.  See what a few of them are saying below, then call 518-549-0480, visit our website to learn more, or reach out to get more information now!
