This includes refusing to attend job interviews or employment referrals without good cause. The Department of Labor and Industry must create or update forms within 90 days to enable employers to report such claimants. Claimants who unreasonably discourage their own hire will be considered to have refused an offer of work. The act takes effect immediately.
