An Act relative to WorkShare working better

This bill amends Massachusetts law to improve the WorkShare program, which allows employers to temporarily reduce employee hours instead of laying them off during economic downturns. It grants the state director authority to temporarily waive certain state-level employer eligibility requirements, such as specific account reserve percentages, to encourage more businesses to participate. Additionally, the legislation mandates an annual report detailing program usage and statistics, requires a public awareness campaign to educate employers about the benefits, and establishes a 14-member commission to study the program's effectiveness and recommend future improvements.
