• Did you have someone refuse your offer of employment? Or how about an employee who refused to return to work? These situations are reportable and should be brought to our attention. Nevada law prohibits individuals from receiving unemployment benefits if they refuse to accept offers of suitable work, or quit work, without good cause.  Employers should provide information regarding employment refusals or employees who refuse an offer to return to work by emailing our Business Service Office at: JOBBANKMPKWY@detr.nv.gov with the subject line "Work Refusals".  Please include as much of the following information as possible:  employer information - name, address, employer account number or FEIN and contact person; individual's full name, last 4 of SSN, address, phone number, date the individual was contacted and offered employment, method of the offer (in-person, phone, email, etc.), refusal method used by the individual (in-person, phone, email, etc.) and reason the individual gave for not being able to accept or return to work.
