SageView Advisory Group, consultant for the DENSO Retirement Savings Plan, will host a free webinar for DENSO associates about ways to be smart, not reactive, during turbulent markets on Wednesday, April 1, 2-3pm ET, to provide some clarity and insight as well as actionable steps for what to do now.

FAQ: When will we know more about our schedule for next week?
An announcement about DENSO’s approach to operations and pay for next week will be shared by Thursday, April 2 at 6pm via email and the DENSO Mobile App.
FAQ: Should I apply for unemployment?
Because the circumstances are constantly changing, and because the applicable legal rules are changing, it is hard to answer that question. It is possible that DENSO associates, temporaries, or contractors could benefit by applying for and receiving state unemployment. The best way for you to find out is by applying. The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth websitehas comprehensive information about applying for unemployment, with guidance on days to file based on your last name to help the system manage increased volumes.
