430 CMR, § 4.78

Current through Register 1530, September 13, 2024
Section 4.78 - Constructive Deduction Calculation
(1)
(a) If the claimant's separation from part-time subsidiary work occurred in the last four weeks of employment prior to filing of the unemployment claim; the average part-time earnings will be computed dividing the gross wages paid by the subsidiary employer in the last completed quarter by 13. If there are less than 13 weeks of work, then the gross earnings shall be divided by the actual number of weeks worked.
(b) On any separation from subsidiary part-time work after the establishment of a claim, the gross wages paid shall be divided by the number of weeks worked for the subsidiary part-time employer after the filing of a claim to determine the average part-time earnings.
(c) On any separation from part-time work which is obtained after the establishment of a benefit year claim, the average part-time earnings will be computed by dividing the gross wages paid by the number of weeks worked.
(2) The constructive deduction shall be computed by applying the earnings disregard standards provided for in M.G.L. c. 151A, § 29(b) to the average partial earnings as calculated in 430 CMR 4.78(1)(a) through (c).
