Summary:
Subsection 7.1(1) of the EIA provides that to qualify for benefits, claimants, other than new entrants or re-entrants to the labour force, have to have accumulated additional hours of insurable employment in their qualifying period if they have accumulated violations in the 260 weeks prior to filing their claim for benefits. The Act provides a table which indicates that, in the present case, the claimant required 1,400 hours of employment due to the fact that he had received a violation classified as subsequent during the 260 weeks prior to his claim. The claimant required 1,400 hours or insurable employment and he had accumulated only 1,312 hours of employment in his qualifying period. The BOR' decision is set aside and the appeal of the Commission is allowed.
