Summary:
The claimant was accused by a co-worker of "molestation" and the employer launched an investigation. The claimant was banned from the premises during the investigation and he quit because he felt he would not get a fair hearing. The Commission refused to pay benefits to the claimant since it was of the view that he had quit without just cause. The Board finds as FACT that the claimant did not have 'Just Cause' for voluntarily resigning his employment." The claimant quit prior to the completion of the investigation pertaining to the allegations of molestation. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.

Summary:
Claimant was assaulted at work. I believe that it is the responsibility of the employer to do all that is necessary to ensure that the employees are protected particularly if they deal with individuals who may be intoxicated. This he refused to do and this alone is just cause.

Summary:
A claimant must make reasonable attempts to resolve the differences and conflicts. Inter-personal conflicts, demanding bosses, unhappy work-places might not amount to just cause. Actual physical violence with well-founded apprehension that it will be repeated does.
