Workshare Program: Holding onto and paying your staff in slow times

November 20, 8 - 9:30 am at the Cape Cod & Islands Assoc. of Realtors, 22 Mid Tech Drive, West Yarmouth. Presenter: Denise Johnson, Massachusetts Division of Employment and Training.

Who should come: Businesses with workers eligible to receive regular unemployment insurance who have or will have temporary business slowdowns.
