Summary:
Reg. 94.1 is a provision of substance, not of procedure and is clearly mandatory. It stipulates that weeks of insurable employment that were worked prior to 01-01-97 are converted into hours of insurable employment and this conversion is made on the basis of 35 hours per week worked. It is a provision that applies automatically whenever a worker seeks to be credited for work done prior 01-01-97. It is not a provision which a claimant may choose to invoke or not to invoke.
