Summary:

To suggest she had any other alternative is to render an injustice to someone who in good faith believes she is gainfully employed, remains but is not paid or is paid by cheques that cannot be cashed. While she was eventually paid, this was done some 5 months after the events. She had just cause.

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment working conditions salary financial difficulties
Summary:

Employees need their wages and salary to be paid on time. Paying employees is fundamental in human experience. This is inherently just cause, whether or not expressed in s. 28. Parliament would have to enact that no pay or slow pay are emphatically not just cause for quitting.

Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment working conditions salary financial difficulties
Summary:

There can surely be few causes for leaving that more deserve the label "just" than leaving because one's employer is cheating on one's pay packet. To expect one to complain first to the Labour Board is far too stringent a requirement. He did what a reasonable person would do.
