Workforce Solutions Southeast Texas Operations during COVID-19
On Wednesday, March 18, 2020, all local workforce solutions centers were closed
to the public in an abundance of caution for the health of our job seekers, employers
and staff. We want to remind individuals and employers that the majority of Workforce
support and services are accessible on our website,
setworks.org, the CHAT Live! Feature,
and via our toll free number, 1-877-834-5627. Labor market information, including employment
statistics and wage data, is available on the site.
Employers, including those needing to hire additional 'essential' workers, can
still post jobs in WorkInTexas.com,
view resumes, and contact individuals as
specified in their profiles. Business are encouraged to utilize the
Shared Work Program
when needing to reduce employee's hours. Shared Work supplements wages
lost due to reduction in hours worked with partial unemployment benefits. Employers
that close their business may also submit Mass Claims for temporary or permanent
layoff of employees.
