The employee must be informed of the probationary period within the first seven (7) work days.

Was separated from employment for compelling family circumstances as defined in Section 2-210 of this title. H. If an employer recalls an employee deemed unemployed as defined by the Employment Security Act of 1980 and the employee continues to be employed or the employee voluntarily terminates employment or is discharged for misconduct within the benefit year, the employer shall be entitled to have the benefit wage charged against the employer's experience rating for the employee reduced by the ratio of the number of weeks of remaining eligibility of the employee to the total number of weeks of entitlement. I. An employer shall not be assessed a benefit wage charge of a laid-off employee if the employer lists as an objection in a statement filed in accordance with subsection B of this section that the employee collecting benefits was hired to replace a United States serviceman or servicewoman called into active duty and laid- off upon the return to work by that serviceman or servicewoman. The Unemployment Compensation Fund shall be charged with the benefit wages of the laid-off employee. J. If the Commission receives a notice of amounts paid as benefits by another state under a reciprocal agreement, and the notice is received after three (3) years from the effective date of the underlying benefit claim, no benefit wage charge will be made against the employer identified in the notice, or if a benefit wage charge is made based on such a notice, the employer will be relieved of the charge when the facts are brought to the attention of the Commission. K. An employer shall not be eligible to be relieved of a benefit wage charge under paragraphs 1 and 2 of subsection G of this section if the employer was sent a notice of benefit claim, pursuant to Section 2-503 of this title, and failed to timely file protest to the benefit claim.
