MO SB28

Redefines "misconduct" to include conduct reasonably related to the job environment and job performance regardless of workplace location or work hours, with specific examples including knowing disregard of employer interests, negligence, no-call no-show violations, chronic absenteeism, tardiness, and violations of employer rules.

Limits "good cause" for voluntary resignation to only causes that would compel a reasonable employee to cease working or require separation due to illness or disability, removing previous broader interpretations.

Adds exception allowing employees to quit without disqualification if they leave work that would be deemed unsuitable within 28 calendar days of first day worked.

Removes prior provision treating absenteeism or tardiness as automatic rebuttable presumption of misconduct.

Maintains disqualification requirement that claimants earn wages equal to 10 times their weekly benefit amount before receiving benefits after voluntary quit, or 6 times weekly benefit amount after discharge for misconduct.
