Section 09.01.30.325 - EMPLOYEES OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS01.Possibility of Employment. An offer of employment by an educational institution or service agency is not "bona fide" if merely a possibility of employment exists. A possibility of employment, rather than a reasonable assurance, exists when:a. The circumstances under which the claimant would be employed are not within the control of the educational institution; andb. The educational institution does not provide evidence that such an individual normally would perform services the following academic year.02.Reasonable Assurance. "Reasonable assurance" of continuing employment exists when an educational institution or service agency provides an oral or written statement to the Department indicating that the claimant has been given a bona fide offer of a specific job in the second academic period. In addition, for such "reasonable assurance" to exist, the terms and conditions of the job offered in the second period must not be substantially less favorable than the terms and conditions of the job performed in the first period.03.Reasonable Assurance Later Given. A claimant who initially was determined not to have a reasonable assurance of continuing employment, will subsequently become disqualified for benefits under Sections 72-1366(17)(a), (b), or (c), Idaho Code, when an educational institution or service agency gives the claimant such reasonable assurance.04.Retroactive Payments. A claimant seeking retroactive payments pursuant to 72-1366(17)(b), Idaho Code, must make a request for the retroactive payment with the Department no later than thirty (30) days after the beginning of the second school year or term or retroactive payment will not be made. In addition, the claimant must provide written evidence from the employer who previously provided reasonable assurance of continuing work, that the claimant was not offered an opportunity to return to work in the second of two (2) successive school years or terms.05.Under Contract, but Between School Terms. Employees of educational institutions who are hired under contract for the school term, are considered unemployed between school terms even though they may receive their salary in twelve (12) monthly payments.Idaho Admin.
