Recommended Call and Access Times
 
Area Code of Applicant                                  Suggested Call Time
Area Codes Beginning with 9                       M-W-F 8 am to 12
Area Codes beginning with 3,4,5, 6           M-W-F 1 to 5 pm

A: Workforce Solutions for North Central Texas offers Rapid Response services to assist employers and job seekers through this process.  Please send an email to employers@dfwjobs.com for information and to be connected to our Rapid Response Coordinator.

Additionally, The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) encourages employers to enroll in Shared Work program as an alternative to layoffs. The voluntary Shared Work program was developed to help Texas employers and employees withstand a slowdown in business such as the impact of COVID-19.
