Summary:
The Commission extended the claimant's qualifying period by four weeks because the claimant had been unable to work for a six-week period due to a work-related injury. The Commission was unable to further extend the claimant's qualifying period because of a prior benefit period. His application was denied because he had not worked the requisite number of hours during his qualifying period. The FCA found that s. 8(1) provides for two possible qualifying periods and the shorter of the two possibilities is the applicable qualifying period.
