Once again for the guys in the back row:
1. the added income is temporary.
2. if an employee is recalled to his job, or offered a similar job at similar pay in a similar location, and he turns the job down - he loses ALL his unemployment and risks being required to repay what he was already paid so far.
The "incentive" for not working, for employees, is not as valuable as the incentive to find a replacement job or hope for your old job back.
