  2. Report about the re-employment activities of the whole week starting from Monday to Saturday when applying for SUI.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The job search can be by applying for jobs over the phone, submitting resumes to different companies through emails, or by visiting different companies.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Make a list of activities while doing a job search that is\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      In any case, an employee tries to do any kind of fraud in making the weekly reports then he\\she has to pay back the SUI amount plus he\\she will be charged some penalties for doing fraud. Some companies can also subject the past employee to legal actions. Therefore, it is better to be clear of any fraud and submit weekly reports with 100% clarity. This will make one eligible for getting SUI.<\/span><\/p>\n
