Nevada § 612.390 - Failure to apply for available or suitable work or to accept suitable work when offered

§ 612.390. Failure to apply for available or suitable work or to accept suitable work when offered

1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 612.392 , a person must be disqualified for benefits if the Administrator finds that the person

has failed, without good cause, either to apply for available, suitable work when

so directed by the employment office or the Administrator or to accept suitable work

when offered. The disqualification continues for the week in which the failure occurred and until

the person earns wages from employment covered by this chapter equal to or exceeding

his or her weekly benefit amount in each of the number of weeks thereafter determined

by the Administrator according to the circumstances in each case. The Administrator shall not require more than 15 weeks. 2. In determining whether or not any work is suitable for a person, the Administrator

shall consider the degree of risk involved to the person’s health, safety and morals,

his or her physical fitness and prior training, his or her experience and prior earnings,

his or her length of unemployment and prospects for securing local work in his or

her customary occupation. 3. Work must not be deemed suitable and benefits must not be denied under this chapter

to any otherwise eligible person for refusing to accept new work under any of the

following conditions: (a) If the position offered is vacant due directly to a strike, lockout or other labor

dispute. (b) If the wages, hours or other conditions of the work offered are substantially

less favorable to the person than those prevailing for similar work in the locality. (c) If as a condition of being employed the person would be required to join a company

union or to resign from or refrain from joining any bona fide labor organization.
