Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
basic concepts  disqualification  length 

Summary:

6 weeks is the maximum to be imposed in those extreme and clearcut cases where an employee quits for no reason at all. The other extreme are those where an employee quits for some valid, personal reason not amounting to just cause.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  working conditions  hours 

Summary:

An inconvenient social life resulting from shift work, especially when the employee knew from the start that the job entailed shift work, does not amount to just cause.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  working conditions  hard work 

Summary:

Claimant has failed to prove that the strain which the job placed on his physical well-being was so intolerably deleterious as to quit. Even then, he should first have discussed the problem with supervisor or physician. Disqualification reduced to 3 weeks.
