What is the name of your state? PA

Thank you for your reply to my suitable work post from the other day. I had asked if I could be fired if I refused work that I considered to be unsuitable.

Just to refresh - I work in an administrative position and have been recently reduced from full-time to part-time status(20 hours). I believe that I might be asked to work another type of position(after the 20 hours are worked each week) in order to prevent me from collecting partial unemployment.
(To attempt to fire me and/or force me to quit.)

Regarding a suitable job: I currently handle administrative, office only type, work. I believe that I may be asked to do surveillance (as in following people in a company who are believed to be committing adultery, filming them, going undercover, etc.) for the detective agency that I work for. Well over a year ago I was told that I had to accompany our agents as they did surveillance so I could be "prepared" in case I was ever needed to do that type of work. I then did ride along with some agents that did that work, however I have never done that on my own. I have only ever had office type positions and do not have a license or any work experience in this regard.

So, with the above detail, do you think that the above request would be considered suitable work?

P.S. If one generally works weekday hours, are any work hours requested outside of that seen as acceptable?

Thank you for your opinion.
