Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1.  That § 60.2-603 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 60.2-603. Weekly benefit for unemployment.

A. Each eligible individual who is unemployed in any week shall be paid for such week a benefit equal to his weekly benefit amount less any part of the wages payable to him for such week which is in excess of that exceeds $50, except as otherwise provided in this subsection. Where such excess is not a multiple of $1, it shall be computed to the next highest multiple of $1. Wages paid to an eligible individual in a week from services performed in another position of employment that he held during the week preceding the time of his separation from the position for which benefits are claimed, and at which other position he has performed services for the payment of wages during each week following such separation, shall not be deducted from the weekly benefit amount otherwise payable to him for such week.

B. Wages earned on a shift commencing Saturday and ending Sunday shall be allocated to the week in which the claimant earns the majority of wages for such work.

2.  That the provisions of this act enhancing the benefits payable to an individual pursuant to Title 60.2 may result in a net revenue loss to the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Pursuant to 30-19.03:1.2, the estimated amount of the annual net revenue loss is $11,443.
