Unemployment Benefits Recipient Did Not Unreasonably Reject Offer to Work only Two Day of Work

The Utah Court of Appeals ruled that a laid-off employee could not be denied unemployment benefits even though she rejected an offer to work at her former employer for at least two days with an offer to work more if the work existed.  The Court stated in Duong v. DWS that "the decision of the Board disqualifying Duong from benefits based upon a refusal [in this circumstance] . . . 'exceeds the bounds of reasonableness and rationality.'"
