Section 646IAC5-8-1. Partial or part-total unemployment

   (a) A claimant who applies for benefits due to partial or part-total unemployment is ineligible unless they can show that they are working less than their normal customarily scheduled hours for their regular employer.

  (b) For purposes of this subsection, "normal customarily scheduled hours" means the hours to which the claimant has agreed to work. Any reduction in hours that regularly occurs as a matter of practice, policy, or procedure of which the claimant was aware and to which the claimant has agreed will not be considered partial or part-total unemployment.

  (c) For purposes of this subsection, "regular employer" means an employing unit for which the claimant has performed services in the last twenty-six (26) weeks, except as provided under federal law.
