Workshare Program

The Work Share program offers an alternative to laying off employees. Under the program, instead of being laid off, employees work reduced hours and receive reduced unemployment insurance benefits. You may request to participate if you reduce your work week up to 40%. Work Share can affect your tax rates. For more information on the program, call 1-800-237-3710 ext. 7-1649, or in Salem, (503) 947-1649.

 
OMEP Rural Lean Program

The Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership (OMEP) has been awarded a grant to provide Lean Manufacturing training and implementation services to four small manufacturing companies in ruralCentral Oregon. Why small businesses – because 96% of Oregon businesses in 2007 had less than 50employees. OMEP has adapted its proven training and implementation approach to operate like small business… quickly, effectively and within your current resources (no cost, low cost). The project is open to all small manufacturers, and does not target any particular manufacturing sectors or industries.
