If you are in danger of laying-off employees due to Hurricane Sandy:

  1. Enter employees into The Shared Work Program:The Shared Work program gives you an alternative to laying off full-time employees when you have to deal with temporary business downturns. It makes sense for you to keep productive employees. Instead of cutting staff, you can reduce the number of hours of all employees or just a select group, and the employees would receive Shared Work Benefits to help offset the lower wages. Apply today at bit.ly/sharedworkprogram.
  2. Help employees get Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA):Disaster Unemployment Assistance is a Federal program that can provide payments to people who have lost work or income due to Hurricane Sandy. The NYS Department of Labor determines if claims filed under the program are valid, and makes payments to those who qualify. Laid-off employees should apply for DUA by December 3, 2012. To apply for Disaster Unemployment Assistance, visit bit.ly/disasterunemploymentassistance or call 1-888-209-8124.
