In New York State, my high quarter earnings in my base period is from a permanent job I had where I was paid nicely. This pay was a lot higher than a previous temp agency is looking to pay me.
can i refuse work from this temp agency?
I see in the NY manual that after 13 weeks you may have to find a job that is not in your field and with pay at least 80% of your high quarter earnings.
my question, what about now, during my beginning of unemployment. can i refuse work that is below 80% of my highest quarter during the base period?
I just don't want this temp agency's employment offer.
thanks for any advice.
