§ 60-45.2. On and after * October 1, 1962, the maximum total amount
of benefits payable to any individual during any benefit year shall be
determined from the “Benefit Table’ shown in § 60-42, but in no case
shall such maximum exceed twenty-four times such individual’s weekly
benefit amount. Such determination shall be based only upon wages
earned in insured work during such individual’s base period. The Com-
mission shall maintain a separate account for each individual who sub-
sequent to January first, 1937 earns wages in insured work. After the
expiration of each calendar quarter the Commission shall credit each
individual’s account with the wages earned by him in insured work in
such calendar quarter.

§ 60-47. An individual shall be disqualified for benefits, but only
after having served a waiting period as provided in § 60-46:

(a) For * any week * benefits are claimed until he has performed
services for an employing unit during thirty days, whether or not such
days are consecutive, if the Commission finds such individual 1s unem-
ployed because he left work voluntarily without good cause.

(b) For * any week * benefits are claimed until he has performed
services for an employing unit during thirty days, whether or not such
days are consecutive, if the Commission finds such individual 1s unem-
ployed pena he has been discharged for misconduct connected with

Ss wor

(c) * If it is determined by the Commission that such individual has
failed, without good cause, either to apply for available, suitable work
when so directed by the employment office or the Commission or to accept
suitable work when offered him *, and the disqualification shall com-
mence with the week in which such failure occurred, unless such failure
occurred during the waiting period in which event the disqualification
shall commence with the week following, and shall continue for the period
of unemployment next ensuing until he has performed services for an
employing unit during thirty days, whether or not such days. are con-
secutive.

In determining whether or not any work is suitable for an individual,
the Commission shall consider the degree of risk involved to his health,
safety and morals, his physical fitness and prior training, his experience,
his length of unemployment and the accessibility of the available work from
his residence.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this title, no work shall
be deemed suitable and benefits shall not be denied under this title to
any otherwise eligible individual for refusing to accept new work under
any of the following conditions: (1) If the position offered is vacant due
directly to a strike, lockout, or other labor dispute; (2) if the wages,
hours or other conditions of the work offered are substantially less
favorable to the individual than those prevailing for similar work in the
locality; (8) if as a condition of being employed the individual would
be required to join a company union or to resign from or refrain from
joining any bona fide labor organization.

(d) For any week with respect to which the Commission finds that
his total or partial unemployment is due to a stoppage of work which
exists (1) because of a labor dispute at the factory, establishment, or
other premises (including a vessel) at which he is or was last employed,
or (2) because of a labor dispute at a factory, establishment or other
premises (including a vessel) either within or without this State, which

(a) is owned or operated by the same employing unit which owns or op-
erates the premises at which he is or was last employed and (b) supplies
materials or services necessary to the continued and usual operation of
the premises at which he is or was last employed, provided that this
subsection shall not apply if it is shown to the satisfaction of the Com-
mission that:

(1) He is not participating in or financing or directly interested
in the Jabor dispute which caused the stoppage of work; and

(2) He does not belong to a grade or class of workers of which,
immediately before the commencement of the stoppage, there were mem-
bers employed at the premises (including a vessel) at which the stoppage
occurs, any of whom are participating in or financing or directly in-
terested in the dispute.

Provided, that if in any case separate branches of work which are
commonly conducted as separate businesses in separate premises are
conducted in separate departments of the same premises, each such
department shall, for the purposes of this subsection, be deemed to be
a separate factory, establishment or other premises. Provided further,
that mere membership in a union, or the payment of regular dues to a
bona fide labor organization, shall not alone constitute financing a labor
dispute.

*

§ 60-68. Effective * October first, nineteen hundred sixty-two, when
in any benefit year an individual is paid benefits equal to three times his
weekly benefit amount his wages during his base period shall be termed
the individual’s “benefit wages.”’ If such individual’s unemployment is
caused by separation from an employer *, such individual’s “benefit
wages” shall be treated for the purposes of this article as though they
had been paid by such employer in the calendar year in which such
benefits are first paid. The * employing unit from whom such individual
was separated, resulting in the current period of unemployment, shall
be the most recent * employing unit for whom such individual has per-
formed services for remuneration during thirty days, whether or not
such days are consecutive. For the purpose of this article, “benefit wages”
shall include only the first * three thousand * two hundred and sixty-four
dollars of wages received by any one individual from all employers in
such individual’s base period.

An individual’s “‘benefit wages” shall not be treated as though they
had been paid by an employer * if such employer is deemed to have paid
under this section, other ‘“‘benefit wages” of such individual arising out
of the same separation from work.

No “benefit wages” shall be deemed to have been paid by any em-
ployer of an individual whose separation from the work of such employer
arose as a result of a violation of the law by such individual, which viola-
tion led to confinement in any jail or prison.

2. This act shall be effective on October 1, 1962.
