summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
refusal of work personal constraints after confinement
Summary:

Held that claimant was not justified in not returning to her former employment because it would not permit her to be home before 6:30 p.m., an arrangement not acceptable for her babysitter. The Board erred when it confused the principles related to availability with those found in s. 27 and 30.

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
refusal of work personal constraints after confinement
Summary:

Held by the Umpire that an offer to work evenings was a material change of working conditions that made her previous employment unsuitable under 27(2)(c). The Umpire erred. Para. 27(2)(c) was clearly not relevant as it deals with other than one's usual job. Para. 27(2)(b) was the relevant provision.

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
refusal of work personal constraints after confinement
Summary:

Claimant made demands which were unacceptable to the company. She later tried to withdraw the demands in an effort to retain her position, but it was too late. CUB 24069 referred to equating this to resignation, not to dismissal. Disqualified here under s. 27. I find that there was a refusal of work.

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
refusal of work personal constraints after confinement
Summary:

The mere fact that she had previously worked there, in itself, does not mean that her failure to return after maternity leave was without good cause. Her circumstances had changed: she had additional obligations to an infant child and former arrangements for transportation were no longer available.

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
refusal of work personal constraints after confinement
Summary:

Teacher who waited until start of 2nd term, 1 month later, to return to her job. I suggest that an effort to find work in one's own job would be a reasonable action for one desirous of obtaining work. Her failure to pursue this option was not reasonable.
