UNEMPLOY INS-REFUSAL OF WORK
Summary
Amends the Unemployment Insurance Act. Provides that if, after a layoff, an employer notifies an individual by letter of the employer's recall of the individual for suitable work, and the employee fails to respond within a reasonable time to the recall notice, the individual shall be deemed to have failed, without good cause, to have accepted suitable work for purposes of this Section. Provides that the fact that an individual did not receive the recall letter because the individual changed his or her address is not a defense if the individual did not notify the employer of the address change. Effective immediately.
