voluntarily leaving employment  just cause  definition 

Summary:

"Just cause" is not "good reason" to do something that one feels must be done. Claimant had a good reason to want to go to France for a baptism or go to Portugal to take care of some paperworks but the employer could not grant the leave of absence. This, though, is not "just cause" to quit one's job. In order to have "just cause" to quit a job, claimant must show that he had no reasonable alternative but to quit his job.
