voluntarily leaving employment  just cause  other employment  Seasonal Employment  

Summary:

The claimant quit her permanent employment to start a seasonal job. The Umpire ruled that the Board of Referees confused the concepts of "legitimacy" and "only reasonable alternative" when it determined that voluntarily leaving her employment constituted the claimant's only reasonable alternative because she had a reasonable assurance of other employment in the immediate future. The Board failed to take into account the consequences of the claimant's decision to leave her regular employment for seasonal employment.
