Section 27-3-808 - Benefits(a) The short time compensation weekly benefit amount available to employees under an approved plan shall be the product of the employee's regular weekly unemployment compensation amount for a week of total unemployment multiplied by the percentage of reduction in the employee's usual weekly hours of work.(b) An employee may be eligible for short time compensation or unemployment compensation except no employee shall be: (i) Eligible for combined benefits in any benefit year in an amount more than the maximum entitlement established for regular unemployment compensation;(ii) Paid short time compensation benefits for more than fifty-two (52) weeks under a short time compensation plan.(c) The short time compensation paid to an employee shall be deducted from the maximum entitlement amount of regular unemployment compensation established for that employee's benefit year.(d) Provisions applicable to unemployment compensation claimants under this act shall apply to short time compensation claimants to the extent that they are not inconsistent with W.S. 27-3-801 through 27-3-810. The department shall issue a monetary determination to any employee who files an initial claim for short time compensation benefits.(e) Employees who work in an affected unit of a short time compensation employer and another employer during weeks covered by the approved short time compensation plan shall be subject to the following: (i) If the combined hours of work in a week for both employers do not result in a reduction of at least ten percent (10%) of the usual weekly hours of work with the short time employer, the employee shall not be entitled to benefits under the short time compensation plan;(ii) If the combined hours of work for both employers results in a reduction equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the usual weekly hours of work for the short time compensation employer, the short time compensation benefit amount payable to the employee shall be reduced for that week in an amount determined by multiplying the weekly unemployment benefit amount for a week of total unemployment by the percentage by which the combined hours of work have been reduced by ten percent (10%) or more of the employee's usual weekly hours of work. A week for which benefits are paid under this paragraph shall be reported as a week of short time compensation;(iii) If an employee worked the reduced percentage of the usual weekly hours of work for the short time compensation employer and is available for all his usual hours of work with the short time compensation employer and the employee did not work any hours for the other employer either because of the lack of work with that employer or because the employee is excused from work with the other employer, the employee shall be eligible for short time compensation for that week. The benefit amount for such week shall be calculated as provided in subsection (a) of this section.(f) An employee who is not provided any work during a week by the short time compensation employer or any other employer and who is otherwise eligible for unemployment compensation shall be eligible for the amount of regular unemployment compensation to which they would otherwise be eligible.(g) An employee who is not provided any work by the short time compensation employer during a week but who works for another employer and is otherwise eligible may be paid unemployment compensation for that week subject to the disqualifying income and other provisions applicable to claims for regular unemployment compensation.Added by Laws 2021 , ch. 20, § 1, eff. 2/9/2021.
