An engineering company in Co Tyrone is to introduce a programme of temporary lay-offs for much of its workforce.
Powerscreen, which is based in Dungannon, said it made the decision due to a lack of orders.
300 of the company's 485-strong workforce will be laid-off for a week on Monday 15 December.
This will be followed by another four weeks without pay in January and February. The Easter holiday week is also being brought forward to January.
