Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
refusal of work  rationale 

Summary:

The purpose of 27(1) and (3) is to allow individuals a reasonable period to find similar work (same line, same area, similar wage). If no such work is available thereafter, a claimant must lessen his demands and broaden his job search.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
refusal of work  reasonable period of time 

Summary:

Work offered on day and evening shifts. Since claimant had no pattern of evening shift, 27(3) is irrelevant, so should be prepared to accept day shift as well. A subsequent pattern is of no help.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
refusal of work  babysitting arrangements 

Summary:

Babysitter available in evenings only, so refused work on day and evening shifts. Claimant's lengthy unemployment is irrelevant. No pattern of evening work. As per BERTRAND, lack of babysitter for day work is not good cause.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  job search  warning before disentitlement 

Summary:

Available for evening work, no babysitter during the day. There is no doubt that the Commission should have informed her that she would not be entitled to benefits. [refusal of work at issue, not availability for work]
