How WorkSharing Works

Under WorkSharing, your employees collect a percentage of their unemployment insurance benefits equal to the percentage of the reduction in their wages and hours. The decrease in the normal weekly hours must be shared equally by all workers in the unit or units you have defined. The reduction in hours may range from 10 percent to 60 percent.

Depending on whether your account balance is positive or negative and your contributory type, UI benefits paid to your employees under an approved WorkSharing are charged differently.
