Summary:
The Record of Employment filed by the employer indicated that during his qualifying period the claimant had accumulated 817 (816.75) hours of insurable employment. In addition, during the 52 weeks prior to his qualifying period he had less than 490 hours of insured employment. The claimant's qualifying period was July 20, 2008 - July 18, 2009, during which he had 817 insured hours and during the 52-week period prior to his qualifying period, he had only 8 hours of insured employment. Accordingly, the claimant is considered a new entrant and requires 840 hours of insured employment in order to qualify. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
