Summary
The Keep NC Working Act establishes a short‑time compensation program that lets employers reduce workers' hours rather than lay them off, while providing partial unemployment benefits. It applies to any employer unit with at least two employees that submits an approved plan, and it requires health and retirement benefits to continue as before. The bill aims to preserve jobs during temporary downturns.
