Local and state employment officials will meet today with local Dell Inc. officials to begin the process of providing job-training and unemployment benefits to Dell employees.
The company said Oct. 7 that it will close its Forsyth County plant, eliminating 905 jobs. Employees said they were told that 600 jobs would be cut by Nov. 18 and the rest by Jan. 20.
The state's Rapid Response Team typically consists of representatives from the workforce division of the N.C. Department of Commerce, the N.C. Employment Security Commission, local community colleges, and local work-force and social-services officials.
Dell spokesman David Frink said that employees would receive two months of pay, an additional week of pay for every year they worked at the plant, two months of COBRA health-insurance coverage, a bonus for fiscal year 2010 goals that were met at the plant, and two months of outplacement-services help.
