Protect Your Workers With Disability Insurance

DI allows you to redirect funds that you would otherwise use to provide your worker
with short-term disability protection into a more competitive employee benefit package.

individuals and business owners can protect themselves against the loss of income due
to injury, pregnancy, or illness.
Reducing Your Workforce?

How to report name, address, and ownership changes; about selling or closing your business;
purchasing a business with employees; and what to do if you no longer have employees.

you with information about downsizing and how to help your employees find other jobs.
Special services include:
- Rapid Response Teams
- Guidance in obtaining funding
- Outplacement and career transition services
- Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act
Requires certain employers to give affected employees at least 60 days written advance
notice of any plant closing or mass layoff.
- Partial Claims
A partial unemployment insurance claim can be used for any claimant who works less than
normal full-time hours because of lack of work.
- Work Sharing
As a temporary alternative to layoffs, this program allows the payment of a prorated
percentage of UI benefits to workers whose hours and wages are reduced. When business
conditions improve, you can quickly gear up without the expense of recruiting, hiring, and
training new employees. In turn, your employees are spared the hardship of full
unemployment.
