§ 11-10-611. Entitlement to benefits under certain conditions.

If an individual works in the same week for an employer other than the shared work employer, and his or her combined hours of work for both employers are greater than ninety percent (90%) of the normal hours of work with the shared work employer, he or she shall not be entitled to benefits under these shared work provisions or the unemployment compensation provisions. If an individual works in the same week for both the shared work employer and another employer and his or her combined hours of work for both employers are equal to or less than ninety percent (90%) of the usual hours of work for the shared work employer, the benefit amount payable for that week shall be the weekly unemployment compensation amount reduced by the same percentage that the combined hours are of the usual hours of work. A week for which benefits are paid under this subsection shall count as a week of shared work unemployment compensation. If an individual, with the approval of the employer, did not work during any portion of the workweek, other than the reduced portion covered by the shared work plan, he or she shall not be disqualified for the absence or deemed ineligible for shared work unemployment benefits for that reason alone. An individual who performs no services during a week for the shared work employer and is otherwise eligible shall be paid the full weekly unemployment compensation amount. Such a week shall not be counted as a week with respect to which shared work unemployment compensation was received. An individual who does not work for the shared work employer during a week, but works for another employer and is otherwise eligible, shall be paid benefits for that week under the partial unemployment compensation provisions of this chapter. Such a week shall not be counted as a week with respect to which shared work unemployment compensation was received.
