Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  just cause  obligation to care for a child 

Summary:

Claimant left her employment because her babysitter could no longer look after her child. Claimant admitted that she did not check with her employer to determine whether she could make other arrangements, but pointed out that she did not have a vehicle and that any variation in her hours of work would be difficult, if not impossible. Appeal allowed by BOR. Decision reversed by Umpire. Having problems with childcare is not just cause for leaving one's employment and the claimant's leaving was not the only reasonable alternative in her case.
