At the end of a 3-month term in a Miami hospital, claimant did not want to renew her contract. Held by the Umpire that failure to renew her contract did not amount to quitting. On the facts of this case, we have not been persuaded that the Umpire made any error that warrants our intervention. In CUB 8538 I held that failure to re-enlist in the Armed Forces after 5 years was not leaving without just cause. There is nothing in the legislation to make any distinction between this and renewal of an expired contract of civilian nature, as per Umpire. FC not persuaded that it should intervene.

It is quite clear that if one is offered a lesser job, one cannot quit without having something else.
