   §  522.  Total unemployment AND PARTIAL UNEMPLOYMENT. "Total unemploy-
 ment" means the total lack of any employment [on  any  day]  DURING  ANY

 BENEFIT CREDIT. The term "employment" as used in this section means  any
 employment including that not defined in this title.
   § 2. Section 523 of the labor law is REPEALED and a new section 523 is
 added to read as follows:
   §  523. EFFECTIVE WEEK. "EFFECTIVE WEEK" MEANS (A) A WEEK DURING WHICH
 A CLAIMANT PERFORMS NO SERVICES FOR WHICH THE CLAIMANT IS  PAID  COMPEN-
 SATION,  OR  (B)  A  WEEK DURING WHICH A CLAIMANT PERFORMS SERVICES ON A
 PART-TIME BASIS FOR WHICH THE CLAIMANT IS PAID COMPENSATION THAT IS LESS
 THAN THE CLAIMANT'S WEEKLY BENEFIT RATE PLUS HIS OR HER PARTIAL  BENEFIT
 CREDIT.
   §  3.  The labor law is amended by adding a new section 525 to read as
 follows:
   § 525. PARTIAL BENEFIT CREDIT. "PARTIAL  BENEFIT  CREDIT"  MEANS  THAT
 PART  OF  THE COMPENSATION, IF ANY, PAID TO A CLAIMANT WITH RESPECT TO A
 WEEK FOR WHICH BENEFITS ARE CLAIMED UNDER THE  PROVISIONS  OF  THIS  LAW
 WHICH  IS  NOT  IN EXCESS OF FIFTY PER CENTUM OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S WEEKLY
 BENEFIT RATE, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS, WHICHEVER  IS  THE  GREATER.  SUCH
 PARTIAL  BENEFIT  CREDIT,  IF  NOT  A  MULTIPLE  OF ONE DOLLAR, SHALL BE
