• Section Number: 10.516
• Section Name: How will an employee know if OWCP considers a job to be suitable?

    OWCP shall advise the employee that it has found the offered work to 
be suitable and afford the employee 30 days to accept the job or present 
any reasons to counter OWCP's finding of suitability. If the employee 
presents such reasons, and OWCP determines that the reasons are 
unacceptable, it will notify the employee of that determination and that 
he or she has 15 days in which to accept the offered work without 
penalty. At that point in time, OWCP's notification need not state the 
reasons for finding that the employee's reasons are not acceptable.
