Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  just cause  significant change in salary 

Summary:

Claimant argued that a reduction of his working hours from 60 hours and more to 40 hours per week was a significant change in working conditions and that this constituted constructive dismissal. Held by Umpire that the claimant had the alternative of keeping his employment. A prudent person would not have left a job providing a normal number of hours at a salary that was not negligible for no employment at all.
