(820 ILCS 405/407) (from Ch. 48, par. 407)
Sec. 407.
Part-time
workers.
As used in this Section, the term "part-time worker" means an individual
whose normal work is in an occupation in which his services are not
required for the customary scheduled full time hours or days prevailing in
the establishment in which he is employed or who, owing to personal
circumstances does not customarily work the customary scheduled full time
hours or days prevailing in the establishment in which he is employed.
The Director may, in his discretion, after giving interested parties
fair notice and opportunity to be heard, prescribe fair and reasonable
general rules applicable to part-time workers for determining their weekly
benefit amount and their total wages in insured work required to qualify
such workers for benefits. Such rules shall, with respect to such workers,
supersede any inconsistent provisions of this Act, but, so far as
practicable, shall secure results reasonably similar to those provided in
the analogous provisions of this Act. Such rules shall be made with due
regard to the customary hours or days during which such individual works in
such employment and to the wages payable therefor as compared with the
wages that would have been payable therefor, if such individual were
employed for the full time hours or days during which persons are
customarily employed at full time in such work by such employer.
