EDD Unemployment Insurance and Refusal to Return to Work Resources

Last week during the EDD Small Business Employer Advisory Committee (SBEAC) meeting, which CTA is a member of, the EDD provided a presentation on their recently released requirements for Californians seeking or receiving State Unemployment Insurance (UI).

 

The presentation focused on job seeking requirements for people claiming or attempting to receive Unemployment Insurance and how an employer can report the refusal of work. Beginning July 11, 2021, UI claimants will be held liable to work search requirements including registering on CalJOBS. Additionally, employers will be able to report the refusal of work when suitable employment is offered to someone receiving unemployment benefits. The presentation provides a lot of information that employers should utilize. To review the presentation, click here.

 

The EDD also provided information and resources for employers to utilize that are reopening and are looking to increase their workforce. To view the EDD’s “Reopening and Hiring Fact Sheet” click here.
