Summary:
The claimant was given a difficult choice when it was discovered he could no longer obtain the necessary security clearance to do his job because of a criminal charge. He had two choices: (1) leave employment and take a retirement package or (2) be dismissed without the severance package. He did not look for other employment prior to leaving and did not seek a transfer. He therefore accepted the retirement package. The Commission held: in so doing, he had voluntarily left his employment without just cause. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
