Summary:
The employer's policy required employees to remain on the work premises during their breaks and the employer provided employees with a designated smoking area. There is nothing unusual or unreasonable about a policy of that nature but the claimant wanted to sit in her car (off premises) during her breaks. Under these circumstances, a reasonable person would have secured alternative employment before quitting her job and putting herself in the position of being unemployed. The claimant may believe that she had a good reason for leaving but it does not constitute just cause as required by the legislation.
