Notwithstanding the provisions of section six, six-a or six-b of this article or any other provision of this chapter, the minimum weekly benefit payments under subsection (b), section six of this article shall not apply to employees who work at nonprofit "workshops" as defined in section one, article one, chapter five-a of this code.
