Summary:
The claimant left his part-time employment in order to move to his parent’s home and save on living expenses during his summer break from school. However, the claimant did not secure employment before leaving, nor did he request a leave of absence from his part-time employment. The jurisprudence states that remaining in employment until a new job is secured is, without more, generally a reasonable alternative to taking a unilateral decision to quit a job. Further, a claimant's desire to improve his or her financial situation may constitute good cause , but it does not constitute just cause within the meaning of the Act.
