summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment new employment on call
Summary:

The claimant voluntarily left her employment for training at a health centre where she would be working «on call». The FCA held that a claimant's desire to improve his or her financial situation does not amount to just cause for voluntarily leaving an employment under 29(c) of the EIA. Further, by accepting an «on call» position, the claimant knew she would likely have periods of unemployment. Finally, the circumstances outlined at s. 29(c) of the EIA are those that existed at the time she left her employment. As such, the BOR erred by relying on hours the claimant had accumulated after she left her employment.
