Description of Program and Relief
Work Share Oregon for Employers
The Work Share program allows employees to receive a portion of the unemployment benefits to which they would be entitled if laid off while still working reduced hours. Employers who apply for the program may divide available work among a group of employees in lieu of a layoff. Eligible staff whose hours and wages are reduced receive a portion of their regular unemployment insurance benefits to compensate for lost wages. Employees may receive up to 25 weeks of benefits.
