We are in trouble. Employees are not being sent home to stay home with employers being told to only use 50 percent of their employees. At least one employer as stated on a message board is splitting the work week and all employees are working but only every other day. That is not legal. The conversation did not mention the employer but only the work pattern.

The reason employers are to send 50 percent of employees home on Lay-Offs is to reduce exposure. The division of work hours is going to disrupt unemployment benefits and will not bend the curve down.
