Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 31 - Labor › 236 - Eligibility for Unemployment Compensation › Section 31-236-58 - Voluntary separations from part-time employment

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) The
			 Administrator shall find that any individual who has voluntarily left part-time
			 employment under conditions which would otherwise render him ineligible
			 pursuant to Section
			 31-236(a)
			 (2) (A) of the General Statutes, who has not
			 earned ten times his weekly benefit rate since such separation and who is
			 otherwise eligible for benefits is eligible to receive benefits only as
			 described in subdivision (1) or (2) of this subsection.
(1) If the individual's separation from
			 part-time employment precedes a compensable separation from his full-time
			 employment, the Administrator shall determine the individual's weekly
			 entitlement for each week of partial eligibility pursuant to this subdivision
			 solely on the basis of those wages paid to him for any employment during the
			 base period of his current benefit year other than such part-time employment.
When an individual is subject to partial eligibility pursuant
				to this subdivision, his maximum limitation on total benefits during his
				benefit year shall be reduced to reflect such redetermined weekly entitlement,
				unless and until the individual earns ten times his weekly benefit rate.
				Effective with the week in which the individual first earns ten times his
				weekly benefit rate or the week in which he first files a continuing claim
				thereafter, the individual's eligibility shall be based on his weekly benefit
				rate, and his maximum limitation on total benefits shall again be equal to
				twenty-six times his weekly benefit rate.
(2) If the individual's separation from
			 part-time employment follows a compensable separation from his full-time
			 employment, the Administrator shall find that for each week of partial
			 eligibility pursuant to this subdivision, the individual is entitled to
			 benefits in an amount equal to the lesser of the partial unemployment benefits
			 he would have received pursuant to Section
			 31-229
			 of the General Statutes, but for such separation from his part-time employment,
			 or the partial unemployment benefits for which he would be eligible under
			 Section
			 31-229
			 based on any subsequent part-time employment. The Administrator shall determine
			 the individual's benefits payable for each week of partial eligibility by
			 deducting from his weekly benefit rate two-thirds, rounded to the next higher
			 whole dollar, of the average weekly wages, rounded to the nearest whole dollar,
			 earned by the individual at the subject part-time employment, except that for
			 any week in which the individual has actually engaged in any part-time
			 employment, the Administrator shall make such determination based on actual
			 earnings if higher than average weekly wages, as determined under this
			 subdivision.
The Administrator shall ascertain the average weekly wages
				earned by the individual at the part-time employment which the individual left
				by:
(A) obtaining from such part-time
			 employer (or from the individual, through appropriate documentation such as the
			 individual's pay stubs) certification of the gross wages earned by the
			 individual with respect to each of the six weeks immediately preceding the week
			 in which the individual separated from such part-time employment, and
(B) dividing the total of such wages by six,
			 or by the number of weeks in which the individual engaged in part-time
			 employment, if less than six.
The individual's maximum limitation on total benefits pursuant
				to Section
				31-231b
				of the General Statutes shall not be affected by a determination of partial
				eligibility pursuant to this subdivision.
Any determination of partial eligibility pursuant to this
				subdivision shall extend only until the individual has earned ten times his
				weekly benefit rate subsequent to his separation from such part-time
				employment.
