Ariz. Admin. Code § R6-3-50315 - New Work (v L 315)

When an employee resigns rather than accepts conditions of employment which are different from those under which he has been working, a decision must be made as to whether he has left work voluntarily or has refused an offer of new work.

1. If the changes in working conditions are not substantial, a voluntary leaving is found.

2. If the changes in working conditions are so substantial as to constitute a new job (i.e., they are not expressly or impliedly authorized in the original employment relationship); the separation shall be regarded as a "discharge" and a refusal of a new offer of work. In such cases the failure to accept work shall be held to have occurred on the first workday following the last day of work.

3. If it is determined that the worker separated due to a layoff and refused an offer of new work, the employer is an interested party to the refusal of work determination since the refusal issue arises from the separation.
