Summary:
On March 5, 2009, the claimant informed the Commission that she took a one-year sabbatical to write a book. She stated that, even if it had not been for her sickness, she would not have been available for work because she was on sabbatical. The claimant reiterated that wanting to write a book was only a pretext, because she did not want her employer to know that she was sick. Claimant became a victim of her own error, made for the purpose of protecting her job. Under the Act, the claimant failed to prove her availability. The claimant's appeal is dismissed.
