MICHIGAN 48053 • PHONE 338.4751 To: All Department Reads Date: October 9, 1964 From: Personnel Division Subject: Additional .ersonnel which ma be hired at a cost of 110.00 per week I. The State Legislature, in its last session, passed a bill which enables governmental employers to work with the Michigan Employ- ment Security Commission in giving work experience to the youth of the State between 16 and 21 years of age, and who are high school graduates or who have dropped out of school and been out of school for six months. 11. The Act provides that the State of Michigan will pay $10.00 per week toward the training of such people and that the local govern- ment unit will pay an additional $10.00 per week. III. The Act provides that the Employment Security Commission arrange schooling for such people and that the combined work and school time of the youngster not exceed 40 hours per week. IV. The terms of such employment and training are 26 weeks in length and are designed for two purposes: A. To give the people on-the-job work experience. B. To encourage them to go back for schooling of some sort. V. County departments employing such a .person would be under no obligation to keep the person beyond a 26 week period and the person would not appear on the department's payroll, as all payment to the person is made by the Employment Security Commission. The only record that the department would have to keep would be a weekly statement of whether the person was doing satisfactory work or not. VI.; The Employment Security Commission feels that persons starting under the program, at the present time, would probably be avail- able to work for the entire 40 hours of a week as it is too late to arrange schooling for the first 26 week group. VII. WHAT THIS MEANS TO A COUNTY DEPARTMENT IS THAT THEY COULD HAVE . SOME VERY INEXPENSIVE EMPLOYEES AVAILABLE TO DO ROUTINE WORK AS LONG AS THE EMPLOYEE WAS LEARNING SOME SORT OF NEW SKILLS WHILE County Dept. Division Signed Date 7 7-77-70771' ; .XERO • COPT' , fXERO Icopyi A To: All Department Heads Date: October 9, 1964 Page 2 DOING THE WORK. THE DEPARTMENT WOULD ALSO GET A CHANCE TO OBSERVE A POSSIBLE FUTURE EMPLOYEE AT NO OBLIGATION TO HIRE HIM. VIII. At the same time, the County would be participating in a pro- gram designed to help young people answer the age old question of how to get some job experience when nobody will hire them without experience. IX. The Employment Security Commission assures us that we can go through a close screening process in the selection of the people and that the department would have the right to turn down those who they would feel to be incompatable with their work group. 1 X.
