Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  relations at work  scolding 

Summary:

Even though the Commission had concluded that the claimant had not been suspended for misconduct, he was disqualified for refusing to resume his employment at the conclusion of the period of suspension. The Umpire stated that the suspension was not relevant to the issue of whether there was just cause to refuse to resume work and concluded that there was no evidence to show that the claimant had no reasonable alternative to do so.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:

Summary:

If the claimant felt he was unfairly suspended, he should have pursued a remedy under the appropriate labour legislation. Refusing to resume an employment constitutes voluntary leaving under the Employment Insurance Act.
