EXAMPLE: Mary lives in a small rural town in Wisconsin. She has two children, ages 4 months and 3 years. Mary worked at a paper mill for five years and it was well documented in her performance reviews that Mary was a good worker. Mary had to quit her job at the mill because she was put on bed rest in the third month of her pregnancy. Once Mary had her child, she was anxious to get back to the mill but, unfortunately, it had closed. A new factory had taken the place of the paper mill; Mary is not familiar with the machinery and could not get a job there on her own. As a result, Mary applied for W-2. Based on Mary's excellent work history with the paper mill, the job developer worked with the factory to hire Mary in a Trial Job position. The factory provided Mary with training to learn the new skills to obtain a permanent position. After three months, Mary was hired permanently by the factory.
