Summary:
Added to the claimant's salary were taxable benefits related to room and board which she benefited from year round and did not have to reimburse. The Umpire ruled that these benefits were earnings to be taken into consideration to determine whether there was an interruption of earnings. The Court refused to intervene in light of the evidence on file and considering that the claimant had the onus of convincing the Court that the Umpire had erred in law in reversing the decision of the BOR and in concluding that there had not occurred an interruption of earnings for at least seven consecutive days.
