Summary:
Claimant was a part time cashier for two years. She had two children; one with a learning disability for which she received a subsidy. The new supervisor cut her hrs from 25 to 10 hrs/week. Claimant lost the subsidy because she needed 25 hrs to qualify and quit her job. Umpire concluded that while there was no guarantee of her particular hours, a pattern had been established whereby the claimant was given sufficient hours to permit her to receive the subsidy relating to her disabled child. Umpire found that this falls within the meaning of the Act being a significant modification of terms and conditions respecting wages or salary.
