Summary:
The claimant took a leave of absence to look after his young children as cost of day care was too high for him to pay and his sister-in-law could no longer continue to care for his children. The claimant had been looking for a night shift position, but he nevertheless admits that while on leave to care for his children he was not actively seeking employment. Although the law recognizes that a parent needs to care for his children, the Act requires him to remain available for work every day without restrictions. He appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
