Returned to a different Board  No N/A  -


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  just cause  obligation to care for a child 

Summary:

The Board failed to take adequate consideration of relevant evidence before it concerning the special needs of this family as to child care in the home (4 children) and the cost of that in relation to what the claimant could possibly earn in the only job available to her. Nor is there any precise evidence as to whether the husband did in fact have paying work in the spring of 1993 that made it reasonable for him to go out to work and for her to quit her job (to look after their four children).


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  incompatible situations  family obligations 

Summary:

[obiter] Claimant quit to look after her 4 children. As she could not go out to work unless she got a job that paid at least $10 per hour, and as she insisted that there was no such work to be found, it appears she remained unavailable for work as a practical matter.
