Arkansas does it. It is part of unemployment benefits. You are only eligible if you fall below 80% of your regular take home pay. In other words, if you are cut back to a 32 hour week from a 40 hour week you don't qualify. But if you fall below that 32 hours you get a partial unemployment check. Usually bringing you up to the 80% of your pay. I don't think it is a bad idea at all. The company pays into unemployment insurance so their employees should receive the benefits. This is especially true for companies like mine that have a NO Layoff policy.

Well, there have been a lot of people who have had to cut wages and still work the same hours..what about them?
When does this all end?
The company doesn’t have a layoff policy, I am guessing, because the State has one so they just pay their money and are done with it.
