What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
I recently had my hours reduced from full-time (40 hours) to part-time (20 hours per week).
I work in an office and perform administrative functions. If my employer requests that I work in the office for 20 hours and then requests that I perform non-office work above those 20 hours (at my same rate of pay) would that be considered "suitable" work?
Based on prior employees experiencing similar tactics, I am concerned that my employer may request that I perform job functions that are completely outside of my job function as a way to prevent me from collecting partial unemployment benefits.
So, if my employer offers me some non-office type of work and I turn it down (while collecting partial unemployment) would I be in danger of being fired and/or losing partial unemployment benefits?
