summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work incompatible situations annual leave
Summary:

Claimant left her employment to care for her ill husband. No doubt that husband required care in the family home during his illness. No disqualification for voluntary leaving but disentitlement for non availability. Principle in Faltermeier (A-479-94) reaffirmed by FCA. While establishing just cause for V.L. a claimant remains subject to an obligation of showing that he or she was "available for work" for any working day in a benefit period.

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work incompatible situations annual leave
Summary:

The claimant scheduled his annual leave pursuant to the terms of his collective agreement. Held that a vacation period is necessary and beneficial for workers; it goes against the notion of availability, and one would deviate from the intent of the Act in considering it as a period of availability.
