Summary:
Claimant worked as a full-time maintenance worker from 29-04 to 25-10-96 and, after that, seven days a week, two hours a day in exchange for free rent. The BOR found that he was doing unpaid volunteer work. Error of law, according to the Umpire. An interruption of earnings does not simply signify an interruption of work, but also a termination of employment. The employer-employee relationship still existed, the proof being that the value of the rent for the lodging still constituted a form of remuneration for services rendered. FCA decisions in Savarie (A-0679.95) and Reny (A-0909.96) cited.
