282-A:31-d Benefits Payable. –

Copy link

The weekly worksharing benefit amount payable to an affected individual shall be the product of the regular weekly benefit amount, as defined in RSA 282-A:25 multiplied by the percentage reduction in the individual's normal weekly hours of work, rounded to the next lower full dollar amount. The weekly worksharing benefit amount shall not be reduced by reason of application of the provisions of RSA 282-A:26 to remuneration received from the worksharing employer. If in any week an individual performs services for a worksharing employer and an employer other than the worksharing employer, the weekly worksharing benefit amount shall be reduced by the amount by which the remuneration received from the non-worksharing employer exceeds 30 percent of the maximum benefit rate in effect.
