WORRIED YOU MIGHT LOSE YOUR JOB IN LA COUNTY? TALK TO YOUR CA EMPLOYER ABOUT WORK SHARING.
While the economy seems to be improving, many employers are still worried about their bottom line. Though this is understandable, you need to make sure that your bottom line --- your job --- is not being placed at risk in the process. One way you can ensure that your job remains secure during this time of economic insecurity is to consider work and pay options. Talk to your employer about working something out that makes both of you happy.
One method many CA employees are turning to is called work-sharing. With work sharing, you reduce your weekly hours and pay, sometimes by 20 to 40 percent, and then the state makes up some of the lost wages, usually half, from its unemployment fund. As with any employment decision, make sure your CA employer doesn’t let your race, religion, age, gender, or nationality factor into his decision-making. It is against the law for your employer to make an employment decision affecting you based on any one of these reasons.
If you are a CA employee who believes that because of your race, gender, age, religion, or nationality that you have not been provided with an opportunity such as work-sharing, call the hard working legal team of Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).
