You are not required to accept work if: • The job opening is due directly to a strike, lockout or other labor dispute • The wages, hours or other conditions offered are much less favorable to you than those for similar work in the locality • As a condition of being employed, you are required to join a labor organization, required to resign from a labor organization or prevented from joining a labor organization Failure to: (1) accept a referral for suitable work, (2) properly apply for available suitable work or (3) accept an offer of suitable work may result in a denial of benefits. You must report any failure to seek or accept work to Workforce Services for the week in which it occurred, even if you felt the work was not suitable. Improper reporting may constitute fraud. (See Fraud and Penalties) Work Registration Unless otherwise instructed, you are required to complete all steps of the work registration for job placement assistance with Workforce Services. Update your work registration each time you create a new claim or reopen an existing claim. To register, go online to jobs.utah.gov, select “Sign in” (in the upper right-hand corner) then “my Unemployment” and choose “Register for Work.” You may also register online at the employment center closest to you. If you live in or move to a state other than Utah, you must register with the nearest state employment center (for the state you are residing in) and submit proof of registration to Workforce Services. Failure to register within 10 working days of your application for unemployment benefits could result in a denial of benefits. (See Re-employment and Employment Centers)
