If your work hours are substantially reduced or your job is eliminated due to lack of work you may qualify for unemployment in-
surance benefits.  If you work less than the equivalent of (3) customary scheduled full time days, during any payroll week because 
work was not available, you may be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits. An employer may file claims for employees 
through the use of automation in case of partial unemployment. An employer may file an attached claim for an employee only 
once during a benefit yea
r, and the period of partial unemployment for which the claim is filed may not exceed six consecutive 
weeks.  You must notify the employer of any wages earned from all sources during the payroll week. Unemployment insurance 
benefit payments are processed in Raleigh, North Carolina.  Please be sure that your employer has your correct mailing address.
