Summary:
Claimant resigned and accepted a buyout package offered to the employees. Although she had high seniority, she chose to take the buyout so that others could remain employed. The Commission determined that the claimant made a personal decision to accept the buyout and that SS. 51(1) of the EIR was not met. Evidence shows that the overall objective of the employer was to reduce labour costs, not to decrease the total number of employees. Claimant appeal dismissed.
