Summary of Issue: Date Of Interruption Of Earnings

Decision 72648 Full Text of Decision 72648

The claimant had only worked for a half an hour meeting and thought that this would not constitute working. The Regulations stipulates that an interruption of earnings occurs when an insured person is laid off or separated from that employment and has a period of seven or more consecutive days during which no work is performed for that employer. Even though this was a very small amount of money and a very small amount of time under the Act the claimant is caught by Regulation 14(1). The appeal of the Commission is allowed.
