Sec. 6. (a) This section does not apply with respect to any services performed by an individual for an employing unit:

(3) during a pay period if any of such service is excepted under section 3 of this chapter.

(c) For claims that involve multiple pay periods, the department may consider the average of all pay periods to determine whether the services constitute employment.
