Summary:
At the end of her term of employment, claimant was offered an extension of her contract for a period of one year. Claimant refused and argued that she did not quit but rather that she was unable to negotiate a new contract. Held by Umpire that the claimant's decision not to accept the extension offered simply means that she refused employment - and chose loss of employment, and unemployment instead. Claimant's alternative was to remain employed until she was able to secure other suitable employment. Claimant appeal dismissed.
