Section 50-7-911 - Entitlement to benefits(a) If an individual works in the same week for an employer other than the shared work employer, and the individual's combined hours of work for both employers are greater than ninety percent (90%) of the normal hours of work with the shared work employer, then the individual is not entitled to benefits under the shared work provisions of this part or the unemployment benefits provisions of this chapter.(b)(1) If an individual works in the same week for both the shared work employer and another employer and the individual's combined hours of work for both employers are equal to or less than ninety percent (90%) of the usual hours of work for the shared work employer, then the benefit amount payable for that week is the weekly unemployment benefits amount reduced by the same percentage that the combined hours are of the usual hours of work.(2) A week for which benefits are paid under this section counts as a week of shared work benefits.(c) If an individual, with the approval of the employer, did not work during any portion of the workweek, other than the reduced portion covered by the shared work plan, then the individual is not disqualified for the absence or deemed ineligible for shared work benefits for that reason alone.(d) An individual who performs no services during a week for the shared work employer and is otherwise eligible is paid the full weekly unemployment benefit amount. Such week is not counted as a week with respect to which shared work benefits were received.(e) An individual who does not work for the shared work employer during a week, but works for another employer and is otherwise eligible, is paid benefits for that week under the partial unemployment benefits provisions of this chapter. Such week is not counted as a week with respect to which shared work benefits were received.Added by 2022 Tenn. Acts, ch. 1086, s 1, eff. 12/1/2023.
