Claimant Did Not Receive a Bona Fide Offer of Suitable Employment that She Was Compelled to Accept After Her Lay Off—Details of Project Not Finally Established—Terms Less Favorable than Those of Prior Job

The Third Department determined claimant was entitled to unemployment benefits because she did not receive a bona fide offer of employment and, even she had been given a bona fide offer of employment she was not compelled to accept it because the terms were substantially less favorable than the terms of her employment prior to her layoff:

Initially, it is for the Board to decide whether a claimant has refused an offer of suitable employment for which he or she is reasonably fitted by training and experience (see Labor Law § 593 [2]), and its decision in this regard will be upheld if supported by substantial evidence … . Here, evidence was presented that the details of the project were not finally established at the time the employer made its inquiry, and the time frame and required hours were also not definitive … . In view of this, substantial evidence supports the Board’s finding that claimant was not given a bona fide offer of suitable employment which she refused. Moreover, even if we were to conclude that she was given a bona fide offer of employment, the terms were substantially less favorable than the terms of her employment prior to her lay off and, consequently, she was not compelled to accept it … . Matter of Gibbons …, 2014 NY Slip Op 06351, 2nd Dept 9-25-14
