Our Southern Indiana Works team can provide assistance to your business during times of economic uncertainty that result in downsizing, mass-layoffs, and plant closures. Rapid Response employment services provide a pro-active strategy designed to respond to worker layoffs and business closings quickly by providing immediate assistance to companies and impacted workers. A Rapid Response Team will be made available to help your impacted employees access resources and services that will assist them to transition back into the workforce quickly.
The Worker Retraining and Adjustment Act (WARN) was passed in 1988 to provide workers with time to prepare for the transition between the job they currently hold and a new job. Employers are required to provide a 60-day notice in advance of covered plant closings and covered mass layoffs. Notice must be provided to impacted workers, their representatives (i.e. a labor union), to the State Workforce Transition Unit, and the appropriate unit of local government.
For further assistance, contact your local representative:

More than one million jobs must be filled in Indiana over the next 10 years. To help Hoosier employers fill these jobs, Indiana has created the Employer Training Grant (ETG), which reimburses employers who train, hire, and retain new or incumbent workers to fill in-demand positions within recognized job fields. The Employer Training Grant is available to help fill in-demand positions within six priority sectors. The grant will reimburse employers up to $5,000 per employee who is trained, hired, and retained for six months, up to $50,000 per employer.
