Summary:
As minister, claimant is provided housing during her period of maternity. The Commission determined that these non-pecuniary benefits constituted earnings to be deducted from her maternity benefits. The BOR found that housing was part of a top-up of her maternity benefits via Supplemental Unemployment Benefits and should be excluded from earnings. Held by Umpire that these monies had nothing to do with her maternity leave: it is an allowance that she received prior to her maternity leave and will continue to receive once she returns to her ministry.
