New Jersey § 43:21-20

§ 43:21-20.

The amount of short-time benefits paid to an eligible individual shall, for any week,

be equal to the individual's weekly benefit rate multiplied by the percentage of reduction

of his wages resulting from reduced hours of work. The weekly benefit amount shall be rounded off to the nearest dollar. An individual shall not be paid short-time benefits for more than 52 weeks under a shared work program. Weeks of short-time benefits may be nonconsecutive. An individual shall not receive short-time benefits during any benefit week in which

the individual receives any other unemployment benefits , with respect to the employment with the shared work employer . Total unemployment benefits paid to an individual during any benefit year, including

short-time benefits and all other unemployment benefits, shall not exceed the maximum

amount to which the individual is entitled for all unemployment benefits other than

short-time benefits. The following provision shall apply to an individual who is employed by both a shared

work employer and another employer during weeks covered by a shared work program: a. If combined hours of work in a week for both employers result in a reduction of

less than 10% of the usual weekly hours of work with the shared work employer, the

individual shall not be entitled to benefits under the shared work program; b. If combined hours of work in a week for both employers result in a reduction of

10% or more of the usual weekly hours of work with the shared work employer, the short-time

benefit payable to the individual shall be reduced for that week and be determined

by multiplying the weekly unemployment benefit amount for a week of total unemployment

by the percentage by which the combined hours of work have been reduced by 10% or

more of the individual's usual weekly hours of work; c. If the individual worked a reduced percentage of the usual weekly hours of work

for the shared work employer and is available for all of his usual hours of work with

the shared work employer, and the individual did not work any hours for the other

employer, either because of a lack of work with that employer or because the individual

is excused from work with the other employer, the individual shall be eligible for

short-time benefits for that week. An individual who is not provided any work during a week by a shared work employer

or any other employer and is otherwise eligible for unemployment benefits shall be

eligible for the full amount of regular unemployment benefits to which the individual

otherwise would be eligible. An individual who is not provided any work during a week by a shared work employer,

but who works for another employer and is otherwise eligible for unemployment benefits

shall be eligible for regular unemployment benefits for that week subject to the disqualifying

income and other provisions applicable to claims for regular unemployment benefits. An individual who has received all of the short-time benefits or a combination of

all of the short-time benefits and regular unemployment benefits available in a benefit

year shall be considered to be an exhaustee for the purposes of any extended benefits

provided pursuant to the provisions of the “Extended Benefits Law,” sections 5 through

11 of P.L.1970, c. 324 ( C.43:21-24.11 et seq. ), and, if otherwise eligible under those provisions, shall be eligible to receive

extended benefits.
