If your business has been devastated by the impact of the coronavirus, you might be interested in new ways to cut back expenses. Instead of laying off or休假员工作为降低成本的一种方式，您可能会从工作共享计划中受益。什么是工作共享？
什么是工作共享？
Worksharing, also known as short-time compensation (STC) or shared work, is a joint program between an employer and their state unemployment insurance office. In economic downturns, a participating employer can reduce a group of employees’ work hours rather than laying off or furloughing a few workers.失业保险then partially replaces the employees’ lost wages associated with their reduced hours.
说你减少你的员工的工作时间从40to 30. If you participate in your state’s voluntary program, the workshare unemployment would cover a portion of the wages associated with the lost 10 hours per week.
基本上，在工作共享的情况下，您不必裁员几个员工就可以保持生存。取而代之的是，您的团队（或团队的一部分）共同减少了工作时间。员工仍在您的工资单上and获得部分失业福利。
So, why worksharing? Here are a few reasons why employers and states think it’s a win-win:
- Employers can retain talented employees while also cutting costs during tough economic times
- 州失业保险办公室仅负责支付部分失业福利
- Employees get to keep their jobs; their hours are simply reduced
- Employees don’t need to look for a new job while receiving unemployment benefits
有兴趣参加其州工作股计划的雇主必须提交计划，并首先获得州的批准。
Here’s a common question you might be itching to ask:If I enroll employees in the work share program, will my SUTA tax rate increase?最有可能，是的。每当您的州取得失业福利时，雇主都会付出账单（例外：与冠状病毒有关的休假和裁员）。即使员工仍在您的工资单上（即在共享工作计划中），此规则也适用。
Not all states have a work share program: just over half of the states have one. Work share program rules vary by state, too. Most states set hour reduction ranges for employees to be eligible. And, states may require employers to add a certain number of employees to the program.
工作共享和Covid-19
According to the劳工部, the CARES Act gave states and thus employers more work share options.
Here’s what the照顾法案在短期赔偿方面提供州：
- 状态s with new or pre-existing shared work programs:联邦政府是100％临时融资STC付款
- 没有合格工作共享计划的州：The state can enter into an agreement with the Secretary of Labor and temporarily operate a federal STC program

如果您想参加，请在试图使员工处于部分失业之前，了解您的州工作共享计划规则。
