421.28g Compensation.Sec. 28g.  (1) Compensation shall be payable to a participating employee for a week within the effective period of an approved shared-work plan during which the employee works the number of hours determined under section 28d(1)(e) for the participating employer on the same terms, in the same amount, and subject to the same conditions that would apply to the participating employee without regard to sections 28b to 28m, except as follows:  (a) A participating employee shall not be required to be unemployed within the meaning of section 48 or file claims for compensation under section 32.  (b) The benefit rate otherwise payable as prescribed in section 27 shall be modified so that a participating employee shall be paid compensation in an amount equal to the product of his or her weekly benefit rate and the reduction percentage, rounded to the next lower whole dollar amount.  (c) Weeks that a participating employee participates in a shared-work plan are not weeks of unemployment for purposes of establishing limits on the duration of receipt of unemployment benefits under this act, but the dollar amount of benefits received under the shared-work plan applies toward the maximum amount of benefits payable.  (d) The unemployment agency shall not deny compensation to a participating employee for any week during the effective period of the shared-work plan by applying any provision of this act relating to active search for work or refusal to apply for or accept work other than work offered by the participating employer.  (e) A participating employee satisfies the availability and seeking work requirements of section 28 if the employee is available for work during the employee's normal work week with the participating employer.  (f) A participating employee may participate in a training program to enhance the employee's job skills without becoming ineligible for benefits under the approved shared-work plan, if the training is sponsored by the employer or provided under the workforce investment act of 1998 and the employee's participation is approved by the unemployment agency.  (2) For purposes of subsection (1), if a participating employee works fewer hours than the number of hours determined under section 28d(1)(e) for the participating employer during a week within the effective period of the approved shared-work plan, but receives remuneration as if the employee had worked the number of hours determined under section 28d(1)(e), the employee is considered to have worked the number of hours determined under section 28d(1)(e) during that week.  (3) A participating employee's eligibility for compensation for a week within the effective period of an approved shared-work plan shall be determined without regard to sections 28b to 28m if the employee receives remuneration for the week from the participating employer that is greater than or less than the amount due for the number of hours determined under section 28d(1)(e).
