Helping Current Employees, Creating More Jobs
On the retail side, moving from the current 600 outlets to as many as
1,800 means there will be
more career opportunities in new businesses
looking to hire good, knowledgeable employees. Many of the chain wine
and liquor stores pay good, family-sustaining salaries with benefits.
Here's the bottom line:
if current state store workers are good, private
industry will scoop them up.
Displaced PLCB employees who intend to
remain in the workforce will receive the following opportunities under
the plan:
• 3 additional points on Civil Service exam.
• Preferential treatment given for state jobs that don’t require
Civil Service exam, as long as employee has necessary skills.
• $1,000 per year grant for part-time education.
• $2,000 per year grant for full-time education.
• $2,000 per year (for two years) tax credit for those hiring
displaced workers, something no other person in the job market will
have.
