Decision 72511 Full Text of Decision 72511

The claimant worked at a campground and left her employment without just cause. The Commission imposed an indefinite disqualification. The employer at the campground indicated that the claimant stopped working because she was no longer available as planned when she was hired. The claimant planned to open a daycare, a fact she did not mention to her employer at the time she was hired. When she was given approval to open a daycare, the claimant advised her employer that she would only be available 30 hours a week and would no longer be available to work evenings. The Board found that the claimant left her employment by deciding to reduce her hours of work and quit before the end of the period she had been hired to work. The Board's decision is entirely compatible with the evidence before it; consequently, the appeal is dismissed.
