Summary:
In 2000, claimant's working hours were reduced from an average of 32 hours a week to 15.5 hours a week. According to employer, claimant had been hired on a part-time basis with hours that could vary from 12 to 30 hours a week. Claimant appealed to the BOR, arguing that he had been constructively dismissed. Claimant failed to appear in person before the BOR and both his appeals at the BOR and at the Umpire were dismissed. The FCA held that the claimant, had he appeared at the BOR to refute evidence, he might have been able to demonstrate that he had just cause for leaving his employment. Request for judicial review dismissed.
