Involving the account of

TAD TECHNICAL SERVICES CORP, Employer

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE DECISION
Hearing No. 94602269MW


Pursuant to the timely petition for review filed in the above-captioned matter, the commission has considered the petition and all relief requested. The commission has reviewed the applicable records and evidence and finds that the appeal tribunal's findings of fact and conclusions of law are supported thereby. The commission therefore adopts the findings and conclusions of the appeal tribunal as its own.

DECISION

The decision of the appeal tribunal is affirmed. Accordingly, the employe is ineligible for benefits beginning in week 2 of 1994, and until four weeks have elapsed since the end of the week in which the failure occurred and he has earned wages in covered employment performed after the week of the failure equaling at least four times his weekly benefit: rate which would have been paid had the failure not occurred. He is required to repay the sum of $1,380 to the Unemployment Reserve Fund

MEMORANDUM OPINION

In his petition for commission review the employe argues that he refused the offer of work with good cause because the work was not suitable for him based on his experience and training. At the hearing in this matter the employe indicated that his field of expertise involved engines and machinery and that the work offered involved chemicals and batteries. A job offer is considered to be "suitable" work if the employe can be expected to perform the tasks as a result of his or her training, experience and physical abilities. In this case the employe was offered work which he was capable of performing. The fact that the employe may have been specifically trained for a type of work other than that offered did not provide him with good cause for failing to accept the offer of work. The appeal tribunal decision is affirmed.



Appealed to Circuit Court.  Affirmed January 20, 1995.
