For over a decade now the EEOC has been choosing its litigation targets according to a detailed Strategic Enforcement Plan. The heart of the plan is a list of six enforcement priorities, such as “eliminating barriers in recruitment and hiring” and “protecting vulnerable and underserved workers.” Those priorities have remained largely the same over the years, but they have been interpreted very differently by different presidential administrations. This webinar will discuss the EEOC’s most recent litigation activity within the context of this history to better understand how it perceives its mission today. The goal is to identify the patterns and pitfalls that may make employers more likely targets for enforcement activity and to provide some thoughts and guidance on what employers can do to avoid that.

Work slowdowns do NOT have to result in layoffs! WorkShare IL offers employers a strategic way to retain their trained workforce while cutting payroll costs AND saving on the expense of hiring and training new employees when business picks up.

Supported by the U.S. Department of Labor and administered by the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES), WorkShare IL gives employers the option to temporarily reduce the hours of some employees, while offsetting the reduced pay with Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits.

Join Todd Lowery, Business Services Manager at IDES, for an informative webinar to learn how WorkShare IL can help your organization:

· Retain trained staff during business downturns

· Reduce payroll expenses without layoffs

· Avoid turnover and recruiting and training costs

· Minimize UI cost increases associated with layoffs

Todd will also discuss how WorkShare IL can be customized to work within your business units, answer your questions, and guide the interested employers on the process of getting started.

Work slowdowns can come at any.
