Rights and obligations with regard to unemployment benefits


Questioner

Hi, A niece of mine works at a travel agency. Due to disappointing results, she has received written notice that she has to leave mid-September. She has also applied for unemployment benefits. Now the employer's regional manager suddenly asks if my niece would like to replace a sick colleague in two other offices for another three months (2 x 2 days). What are her rights and obligations in this regard?

Lawyer

I advise your niece to accept this offer. After all, work takes precedence over benefits. If your niece refuses this work (assuming that the work is suitable for her), the UWV will probably also refuse the unemployment benefit, because she has refused suitable work.
