Decision 28045 Full Text of Decision 28045

Part of the requirements of the claimant's on-call status with Safeway was that he remain available for work whenever called upon to do so. Given such a requirement, I fail to see how he could be available for other employment. In fact, he worked up to 30 to 40 hours per week in the last 3 months.

Decision 19647 Full Text of Decision 19647

I am of the opinion that Arbitration Board erred in law by exempting, as it did, the beneficiary from the burden of proving her availability on pretext she held down a job where she was on call.

Decision 19380 Full Text of Decision 19380

Decision 17377 Full Text of Decision 17377

Satisfied with working part-time, she would not have accepted another job. Laid off between seasons, she knew that she would be recalled at the beginning of the next season. No steps taken. You cannot remain at home and wait to be recalled.

Decision 17051 Full Text of Decision 17051

Full-time student who alleges he may earn up to 25% of weekly benefit and still get full amount of UI. While it is true a claimant may work part-time and still receive UI, this is applicable only to those claimants who are available on a full-time basis.

Agrees to only work part-time for her employer; occasionally refuses calls to come to work. Her priority is to look after her children. Laudable attitude but does not entitle her to unemployment insurance. For her, work is a luxury that she indulges in according to whim.

Decision 14633 Full Text of Decision 14633
