summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment applicability duration of disqualification
Summary:

A 10-week period of disqualification has the effect of disqualifying the claimant for a period substantially in excess of the period of employment available to her (6 weeks) had she not left the job. It is my view the period should be reduced to the minimum period of 7 weeks.

There are mitigating circumstances. Claimant is an honest person who has never abused the UI plan. He honestly believed that, eager to find work, he could try out this job and abandon it if unsuitable. He disclosed that day's work and pay. 6-week disqualification reduced to 3.

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment applicability duration of disqualification
Summary:

As the claimant would have been out of work within 2 weeks after he left to take a course, it appears that the 6-week disqualification was excessive and I direct that this be reduced to 2 weeks.

The maximum disqualification is 6 weeks but, since the claimant quit her job only 2 weeks before it was due to expire in any event, a 2-week disqualification is perfectly reasonable.
