(2) A week for which benefits are paid under this subsection shall count as a week of shared work unemployment compensation.

(c) If an individual, with the approval of the employer, did not work during any portion of the workweek, other than the reduced portion covered by the shared work plan, he or she shall not be disqualified for the absence or deemed ineligible for shared work unemployment benefits for that reason alone.
(d)
(1) An individual who performs no services during a week for the shared work employer and is otherwise eligible shall be paid the full weekly unemployment compensation amount.
(2) Such a week shall not be counted as a week with respect to which shared work unemployment compensation was received.
