Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 12:17-12.7
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 6, March 18, 2024
(a) No individual, who is otherwise eligible, shall be deemed unavailable for work or ineligible for benefits solely for the reason that the individual is available for, seeks, applies for, or accepts only part-time work, instead of full-time work, if the claim is based on part-time employment and the individual is actively seeking and is willing to accept work under essentially the same conditions as existed in connection with the employment from which the individual became eligible for benefits.
(b) An individual who limits his or her availability to part-time work shall be ineligible for benefits unless the following conditions are met:
1. The individual has worked in part-time work during a substantial portion of the individual's base year. A "substantial portion" of the individual's base year is defined as earning sufficient wage credits in part-time employment to establish a claim for benefits;
2. There is sufficient part-time work in the claimant's general labor market to justify his or her restriction to part-time work; and
3. The individual is available for enough weekly hours to be able to earn remuneration equal to at least the individual's weekly benefit amount.
