ohio's Unemployment compensotionLow

commission has not been officially de-
termined.
A suit appealing ruling by ma
jority of the Commission, with Labor
Member w. I. Roberts dissenting, in
which actual earnings rather than
full time earnings were declared to
be the basis of determining the aver
age weekly wage, is now in court
awaiting a decision.
The maximum wage base of $50 per
week will apply in the determination
of partial unemployment benefits. I'm
der the sliding scale of benefits, a
worker whose earnings are under
sixty per cent of his average wage
but more than 45 per cent will receive
a weekly benefit of ten per cent of his
wage.
For example, if worker is earning
the maximum Of $50 per week, and his
earning power falls to SIS per week,
he would be determined partially un-
employed and receive benefit Of ten
per cent of $50, or SO per week.
a twenty per cent benefit is pay
dDiS "lltI LHc average weekly wage Is
under fortyfve per gent but more
than thirty; thirty per cent benefit
is payable when the wage is under
thirty but more than fifteen per cent
Of the average, and forty-fve per
cent benefit is payable when the wage
lis under fifteen per cent of the aver
age.
The total benefits to which a work.
er is entitled in any consecutive
twelve month period, whether for par
tial unemployment or total unemploy-
ment, or partial and total unemploy-
ment, cannot exceed sixteen times his
benefit for one week Of total unem-
ployment
A worker cannot waive his right to
receive benefits under the law, and his
unemployment benefits are exempt
from the claims of all creditors. Bene-
fit checks will be mailed directly to
the claimants home by the Com
mission.
