Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  legislation  burden of proof 

Summary:

The jurisprudence is clear that the onus is on the Commission to establish the leaving was voluntary, that is, that the claimant took the initiative in severing the employer-employee relationship. If that is established, the onus then shifts to the claimant to establish just cause.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  applicability  tantamount to leaving 

Summary:

The Board found the claimant, by his attitude (inviting his employer to lay him off), contributed to the expectation that he would be laid off and, within this meaning, claimant was found to have voluntarily left his job. Held that the Board's decision in this respect should not be disturbed.
