Summary:
Claimant quit her job in Newfoundland because she was only making the minimum wage and she had been offered a free ride to Alberta to improve herself. BOR allowed the appeal on the basis that leaving a minimum wage job to seek a better paying position was just cause for quitting. Error in law by the BOR stated the Umpire. While it is understandable, it does not give the claimant the right to employment insurance benefits. In order to leave one's job for just cause one must show that there is no reasonable alternative to quitting.
