Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
refusal of work  neglect to avail 

Summary:

The Board's decision alludes to a requirement that an actual offer of work be extended to claimant. Para. 27(1)(b) not to be confused with 27(1)(a). A job offer need not be made under 27(1)(b), so long as an "opportunity" of suitable employment is available to claimant.


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

Summary:

Claimant did not attempt to return to her position following maternity leave until 1 month later, the start of 2nd term. The difficulty she would experience setting exams and marking students she had not taught if she returned early does not constitute good cause.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
refusal of work  personal constraints  after confinement 

Summary:

Teacher who waited until start of 2nd term, 1 month later, to return to her job. I suggest that an effort to find work in one's own job would be a reasonable action for one desirous of obtaining work. Her failure to pursue this option was not reasonable.
