Section 172-14-3 - Contract

A contract must be enforceable, non-contingent, and for an academic year or term or on an annual basis.

Furthermore a contract must be:

1. A genuine written offer from an individual with actual authority to offer employment;

2. Employment in the same capacity (either professional or non-professional, see definitions in section 1(B) and 1(G)) and;

3. Pay and benefits in the following year are not considerably less when compared to the prior year. When making determinations involving written reasonable assurance, the bureau shall take into consideration the claimant's prior employment history and pattern of employment.

Individuals under contract with an educational institution will not be considered unemployed for the duration of the contract and will be denied benefits until the agreed- upon contract period ends.

Note: A contract is not required. If there is a contract that meets Section 3, that contract is deemed to fulfill the requirements of reasonable written assurance.
