Unemployment Compensation - As enacted, removes a requirement that work be deemed suitable for a claimant if certain criteria are met and a claimant's gross weekly wages equal or exceed certain threshold percentages of the claimant's weekly wage for insured work for the quarter of the base period when the claimant's wages were greatest. - Amends TCA Section 50-7-303.

Summary

HB 2542 changes Tennessee law so that a job no longer has to meet specific wage percentages to be considered suitable for a claimant receiving unemployment compensation. By deleting those wage‑based criteria, the bill simplifies the eligibility rules for claimants who are offered work. This affects anyone filing for unemployment who is offered a job that might not meet the previous wage standards.
