Summary:
The claimant requested and obtained leave without pay for a year to find a suitable solution for the care of her two children and specifically to take care her son who needed to see an occupational therapist two or three times a week. She indicated that her availability was restricted to between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. because she had to ensure her son's safety and attend regular follow-up appointments at a rehabilitation centre. The BOR found that the claimant did not prove she was available for work as the Act requires. According to the Umpire, the evidence in the docket supports the finding that the claimant had not found a stable solution to her babysitter problem.
