Employee Refusal of Recall to Work or Applicant Job Refusal:

If an employee refuses a recall to work or an individual refuses an offer of work, employers must notify the Maryland Department of Labor's Division of Unemployment Insurance (DUI) within 15 days after the refusal in order for DUI to consider whether the refusal will affect the individual's benefits. Notification should be sent to DLUI‑DLLR@maryland.gov with the following information: date of offer, date of refusal, name and SSN of the individual, company name and Maryland Unemployment Insurance employer account number.
