Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  legislative authority  purpose of ui system 

Summary:

The purpose of UI is to provide temporary relief to those persons who, through no fault of their own, lose their employment and are actively seeking employment of a nature which can possibly be found at some location readily accessible to their residence.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  job search  reliance on others 

Summary:

It is the claimant's responsibility to establish by a preponderance of evidence that her search has been a reasonable one. It cannot be met by waiting for the authorities to keep her informed of job opportunities nor will mere registration at CEC suffice.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  restrictions  labour market information 

Summary:

A question of fact to be examined and weighed by taking into account not only claimant's intentions, but also the number and frequency of employment opportunities in type of occupation claimant is capable of undertaking and willing to do in the area where he wants to be employed.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  job search  as a useless act 

Summary:

It is unlikely that School Boards listed hire a non-catholic teacher, says claimant. It is for them, not for claimant, to decide. The claimant has made an unfounded assumption that there were no jobs available without verifying that information with theonly people who knew.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  job search  number of contacts 

Summary:

Claimant said she should have been given time during which to find employment in teaching. That is a well established principle and one I would have possibly applied had she actually attempted to find work but she contacted one employer only in 13 weeks.
