My reading of the legislation is similar to that of Senator Seery Kearney in that the proposed amendment would appear to reduce the 26-week period to one week. As drafted, it would mean that only previous employment in the past week would qualify as continuous service for the purpose of calculation. I do not believe that is the intention of the Senator in the circumstances but it is the result of the amendment proposed.
