Summary:
The claimant quit his job after his employer reduced his salary. The Court determined that the standard of review where the Umpire is reviewing a decision of the BOR with regard to just cause for leaving employment was reasonableness. The Court concluded that the Board's decision was reasonable since the claimant had other alternatives and found that the Umpire erred by overturning this decision.

Summary:
The claimant quit his job after his employer reduced his salary and argued that this amounted to constructive dismissal and he should not have to establish just cause. The Court stated that the common law concept of constructive dismissal is a different issue from the issue of whether an employee has voluntarily left employment under the Act. The Court does not accept the claimant's argument that this means he left his employment involuntarily, as he had other alternatives.
