Restart. Retain.
 Michigan’s Work Share program allows employers to restart their business and bring employees back from unemployment. Employers can bring employees back with reduced hours – while employees collect partial unemployment benefits to make up a portion of the lost wages. Employers can also retain their current workforce and are given the flexibility to choose which of their employees are part of a Work Share plan. www.michigan.gov/WorkShare Michigan Business Testimonials on Work ShareDave Dittenber, CEO The Work Share program is an excellent way to retain your employees in an economical way.
