(1) During the week, the individual is employed as a member of an affected group under an approved shared work compensation plan that was approved before that week, and the plan is in effect with respect to the week for which the benefits are claimed;

(2)(A) During the week, the individual is able to work and is available for the normal work week with the shared work employer.

(B) However, an otherwise eligible individual shall not be denied benefits with respect to any week in which he or she is in training to enhance job skills, including employer-sponsored training and worker training funded under the Arkansas Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, § 15-4-3701 et seq., if the training has been approved by the director.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter to the contrary, an individual is deemed unemployed in any week for which remuneration is payable to him or her as an employee in an affected group for ninety percent (90%) or less than his or her normal weekly hours of work as specified under the approved shared work compensation plan in effect for the week.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter to the contrary, an individual shall not be denied shared work unemployment compensation benefits for any week by reason of the application of provisions relating to availability for work and active search for work with an employer other than the shared work unemployment compensation employer.
