(f)(I) Due to the particular nature of the building and construction
industry, construction workers who quit a construction job to accept a
different construction job in any of the following circumstances:
(A) Quitting within thirty days immediately prior to the established
termination date of the job quit; and at the time of quitting, the
construction worker had been offered and had accepted another
construction job and the specific starting date of the new job was
within thirty days from the date of quitting the prior job; and the new
job offered employment for a longer period of time than remained
available on the job quit unless the new job was terminated by a
contract cancellation; or
(B) Unsatisfactory working conditions with respect to the distance of
his work from his residence when so determined by the division; or
(C) Quitting a construction job that is outside the state of Colorado
in order to accept a construction job within the state of Colorado, if
such construction worker has maintained a residence in this state; or
(D) Leaving a job to comply with a condition of an apprenticeship
assignment of an employer, which condition was imposed to meet the
conditions of a joint apprenticeship or other apprenticeship program
which is in accordance with requirements for programs registered with
the federal government; or
(E) Quitting a job outside the worker's regular apprenticeable trade
to return to work in his or her regular apprenticeable trade. For
purposes of this paragraph (f), a “regular apprenticeable trade” is a
skilled trade or occupation in the construction industry in which, by
longstanding and recognized practice of a significant segment of the
industry, a worker generally must complete a period of apprenticeship or
training pursuant to a joint apprenticeship or other apprenticeship
program which is in accordance with requirements for programs registered
with the federal government. A worker may have more than one regular
apprenticeable trade.
(II) If the provisions of either sub-subparagraph (A), (B), (C), (D),
or (E) of subparagraph (I) of this paragraph (f) are met, any benefits
normally chargeable to the employer for whom the employee worked
immediately prior to accepting the new job will be charged to the fund.
Benefits shall not be awarded pursuant to this paragraph (f) unless the
worker has subsequently separated from the new job under conditions
which would result in a full award under this subsection (4).
