Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  just cause  no reasonable alternative 

Summary:

Claimant left his employment after a reduction in salary of just over 30%. Umpire ruled that if the claimant had remained in his old job with reduced income, he would at least have had a job and would have been able to take the necessary time to find other insurable employment. He preferred to receive UI benefits, which gave him less income, even with a reduced salary. Umpire found that this solution was not reasonable, and even more obviously was not the reasonable solution as defined by the legislation.
