Summary:
Subsection 28(4) exempts claimants from the strict enforcement of 28(1) if they can show that they had no reasonable alternative to leaving the employment. Work that constitutes a danger to health or safety is a valid exemption. However, everything must be examined in context and this must be the only reasonable alternative in their case. This evidence must be objective, unemotional and not subjective; there must be an objective conclusion based on actual unapprehended facts.
