Child Care Center Business Support
Have you heard about NJ’s Shared Work Program? The basic concept behind the program is to help employers retain employees (e.g., the program helps employers avoid laying off employees and/or helps them to scale back up in a back-to-work effort).
turn, they would receive a percentage of their unemployment compensation. For example, if an employee typically works 40 hours per week and his/her hours are reduced to 32 hours per week (a 20% reduction), then the employee would receive reduced earnings based on the 32-hour week and 20% of his/her unemployment compensation. For employers, reducing hours instead of imposing layoffs can help retain a skilled workforce during recovery periods. The same concept can also be applied for employers seeking to restore their workforce. While NJ’s state law restricts the workshare program to employers with at least 10 employees, it is an option that some child care centers may want to consider. Find out more about NJ’s Workshare program on the NJ Labor and Workforce site here. State workshare programs that have been enacted through state legislation are funded 100% by federal dollars through September 6, 2021.
