Summary:
This is an application for Judicial Review of an SST-Appeal Division decision which upheld the SST-General Division decision that the claimant was not entitled to regular EI benefits confirming the establishment of an overpayment. Before the FCA, the claimant claimed that the SST-General Division and SST-Appeal Division erred in several factual findings and made incorrect statements. The General Division had determined that Mr. Mehra was ineligible to receive employment insurance benefits because he had recently left an employment voluntarily and without just cause. The Appeal Division concluded that there was no reason to interfere with the General Division’s credibility finding. The appeal was dismissed. The application for judicial review was also dismissed.

Summary:
The claimant voluntarily left his butcher employment on June 28, 2009, without just cause. He could no longer cope, was fed up and more mentally than physically tired, but he did not consult a doctor. He was guaranteed 25 hours a week; but was working 40 hours a week. The claimant stated that he was guaranteed a new job before leaving his first employment, and that he knew that it was a seasonal position and that he would be laid off in the winter. The claimant took a vacation and thus waited 13 weeks before starting to work as a carpenter at the end of September before being laid-off. The claimant was thus somewhat responsible for his own unemployment. The appeal by the Commission is allowed.

Summary:
The claimant left his employment to complete a thirteen week training course in policing techniques. At the end of the course he was hired as a police officer. The Board of Referees ruled that the claimant had just cause to leave his employment since he had reasonable assurance of another employment within a reasonable time. The Federal Court of Appeal emphasized that subparagraph 29(c)(vi) assumes three things: reasonable assurance, another employment and the immediate future. The Court determined that the Board of Referees committed an error in law in confusing "a reasonable time" and "the immediate future." The Court doubts that there can be reasonable assurance of another employment when obtaining the employment is conditional on completion of a thirteen week course which has not yet been started. The Court finds that such employment does not constitute employment in the immediate future.

Summary:
It is argued that he had "to be by the phone" all day. As a claimant, and as a part-time worker, he had to make phone calls to show his availability to the trucking company, but that did not, to my mind, preclude him from looking for other suitable full-time employment if that was his desire.

Summary:
While it is always difficult to seek other work while still employed full-time, jurisprudence is quite constant that one who leaves work voluntarily without having other employment to go to is deemed to have acted imprudently and to have lost his employment without just cause.

Summary:
The claimant had accepted a job in Iqaluit, Nunavut for a period of 40 days. The claimant arrived on the work site on August 6, 2009, but quit three days later and went home. His explanation for leaving was that in his opinion, the surveying equipment made available to him was not functioning properly. He also stated that on leaving, he had the assurance of another employment. In the end, however, he did not start that job until August 24.The supervisor affirmed that the claimant wanted to leave because he was homesick. The claimant had purchased his return plane ticket before even telling his supervisor about the equipment possibly being faulty, which was doubtful. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.

The fact that claimant did not search for employment before she left Regina to move to Quebec is not significant in this case. She did not do so because the distance between the two places is so great. To seek alternate employment before leaving is not required when it is impractical to do so.

Summary:
The employer stated that the claimant quit his job because he had another job. The claimant disputes this decision stating that he was working only one day a week. In this case, the claimant quit his employment because he had found another job that was going to start some 45 days in the future. He chose to take the time off for vacation. The Umpire stated that the claimant made an unfortunate decision but a personal choice, as he could have stayed in his employment until the new job started. The appeal of the claimant is dismissed.

Summary:
The applicant applied for benefits and stated that he had left his job working for a geological company for a better job with a different company that never materialized as he had failed a drug test while he was in training for the new job. The Commission denied his claim on the basis that he had voluntarily left his employment without just cause. The claimant asked the Umpire to reconsider his initial decision on the basis of new facts pursuant to section 120 of the EI Act. The FCA found that the claimant had voluntarily left his job without “just cause” and he had no reasonable assurance of employment in the near future when he had quit the job. On the Umpire’s decision refusing to reconsider the initial decision on the basis of new facts, the FCA found that there was no error in the Umpire’s finding.

Summary:
While receiving EI benefits, the claimant worked for two and a half days and then quit. In his regular reporting to the Commission the claimant failed to mention as required that he had quit. When confronted with his incorrect reporting the claimant indicated having left his employment in the expectation of obtaining a more suitable job that he did not get. The Commission decided that the claimant had failed to demonstrate that he had no reasonable alternative but to leave his employment before securing another job, that he had made a personal choice in leaving the employment he had in order to look for work elsewhere while the possibilities were uncertain, and that therefore he alone should bear the consequence of his decision. Following this finding, the Commission imposed upon the claimant an indefinite disqualification to benefits effective the week of separation from employment. This decision resulted in an overpayment, a subsequent penalty as the claimant had incurred prior violations within the last 5 years, with a notice of violation. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed.

Summary:
The claimant left his employment with a systems company to accept employment with "police services". He later provided a letter confirming that he had a promise of employment from the "police services". This letter also indicated that the offer of employment was conditional on the claimant completing a course at the "School Training for Police". Unfortunately, the claimant failed a part of his course and his attendance at the program was terminated. He therefore could not obtain the employment he expected to get. It is well established in the jurisprudence that one cannot establish that he has a reasonable assurance of employment in the immediate future if such employment is conditional on the completion of a course (A-249-01 and A-562-04). The appeal is dismissed.

Summary:
The claimant had to complete a three-month practicum to obtain her teaching degree. She did not have a contract or even the promise of a contract before she quit her job at the store and could not have one before she completed her three-month practicum. She quit her job to complete her practicum in an area where she firmly believed she would obtain a position as a teacher. Relying on the decision in A-249-01, the Umpire stated that to show the assurance of employment in the near future, a claimant has to establish that she had an offer of employment from the new employer and the job she hopes to obtain is not conditional on a training practicum that has not yet been completed or undertaken.

Summary:
The Umpire concluded that the BOR failed to consider the documentary evidence on file showing that the claimant did not establish she had just cause to leave her employment and failed to show it was the only reasonable alternative in her case. The Board must satisfy itself that there is some objective basis upon which a "reasonable assurance" of another employment in the immediate future existed.

Summary:
Claimant left his job to commence an 8 week training course. Prior to leaving his employment, the claimant made arrangements for alternate employment effective upon completing this training course. The FCA held that to quit one's job to attend school is not considered just cause under the Act and the jurisprudence. Nor was there a "reasonable assurance" of a new job, as defined in the Act, given the conditional nature of the offer.

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.

The case law has established that leaving permanent employment for part-time or on-call employment does not constitute just cause within the meaning of the Act even if the new job offers better pay and benefits. As per the Umpire, the Commission's appeal is allowed.

Whether the claimant's decision constituted voluntarily leaving or a dismissal does not change the fact that it is her decision that led to become unemployed.

Summary:
The claimant had voluntarily left her full-time permanent employment with Erb to accept an ECE on-call temporary position with a school board. She worked as an ECE from October to December 2011, when she was laid off due to shortage of work. The Commission determined that she had voluntarily left her employment with Erb without just cause. In allowing the application for judicial review, the FCA stated that it is settled law that while it is legitimate for a worker to change the nature of their work, this cannot be done at the expense of the EI fund, and does not constitute just cause for leaving employment.

Summary:
Was offered work for 5 weeks as a Grip on a television movie. His employer was unable to give him a leave of absence. He, therefore, chose to leave full-time employment for temporary work. His employment in the film industry is more lucrative while it lasts. This was a personal decision.
