➡ @LtGovHusted: on July 2nd, the Governor signed an executive order, enabling the @OhioJFS to draw down federal funding authorized under the CARES Act to enhance the state’s SharedWork program.
Participating employers agree to reduce the affected employees’ hours by a uniform percentage, between 10% and 50%, for up to 52 weeks. In return, those employees receive SharedWork compensation (which is a prorated unemployment benefit).
And, while federally available, employees may also receive the Pandemic Unemployment Compensation benefit each week. Since March 15, @OhioJFS has approved 909 employers have participated in 1,680 SharedWork Ohio plans, benefiting 46,352 participating employees.
