If an employee refuses the job offer, depending on the reason, the employee may be disqualified from receiving further unemployment benefits. If a job offer is made, it must be clearly communicated as an offer of work. An employee must understand work is being offered as opposed to a general discussion of work possibilities. The details should include start date, whether it is full time / part time, the wage, type of work, hours, general location, and conditions of the job. You should directly and clearly communicate the details on the work offered. What needs to be communicated to my employees? I am ready to increase business and call my employees back to work. The employee remains able and available to accept suitable work when offered. The employee continues to actively engage in work search to secure additional hours of employment and If an employee’s earnings do not exceed 133% of their unadjusted weekly benefit amount and they are not working “full time,” they are eligible to continue to receive partial benefits, subject to the normal eligibility requirements for all claimants including requirements that: If their earnings in any week exceed 133% of their unadjusted weekly benefit, they do not qualify for partial benefits for that week, even if they are not working “full time.” Additionally, their eligibility for partial benefits is subject to an earnings test and a work search requirement. If your employee is not working a “full-time” schedule of hours (see question above), they may be classified as “partially unemployed,” and they may be entitled to receive reduced benefits during any period in which they remain partially unemployed. Do employees remain eligible for benefits if they are not working “full time?” Remember, once work returns to full-time, or your employee begins to consistently earn over their weekly benefit amount, they are no longer eligible for benefits and can simply stop requesting benefits. Failure to correctly report work and earnings may result in overpayments and possibly the imposition of a penalty.
The system will adjust their weekly unemployment benefit payment based on the gross wages reported. If employees return to part-time work, depending on the number of hours worked and gross earnings during a week, they may still be eligible for partial unemployment benefits. If they return to part-time work, they may continue filing weekly claims. What happens to my employees’ claims if they return to part-time employment? If employees later become unemployed or their hours are reduced, they will need to reopen their claim, or open a new claim if it has expired. Any returning full-time employee should simply stop requesting benefits, and the claim will automatically be closed by the system. When your employees return to full-time work there is no need to contact the Department of Unemployment Assistance. What happens to my employees’ claims when they return to full-time employment?
