        A HOUSE RESOLUTION urging the legislative council to assign to an appropriate study committee the topics of work sharing unemployment benefits and the establishment of a work sharing unemployment insurance program.
    

    Whereas, During these times of economic downturn, employers may be forced to reduce worker hours to help keep all workers employed;

    Whereas, Work sharing programs help reduce the ranks of unemployed Hoosiers; and

    Whereas, If a work sharing benefit payable to an employee for work performed under a work sharing plan is established, the work sharing benefit should be equal to the employee's

unemployment benefit reduced by a percentage that is equivalent to the number of hours by which the employee's work hours are reduced under the work sharing program: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the

General Assembly of the State of Indiana:

    SECTION 1. That the legislative council is urged to assign to an appropriate study committee the topics of work sharing unemployment benefits and the establishment of a work sharing unemployment insurance program.
