Summary:
The claimant left her employment in Kingston to relocate in Whitby with the objective to diminish her living expenses and obtain better job opportunities in order to improve her working conditions. Based upon the facts, the Commission determined that the claimant did not demonstrate just cause for voluntary leaving her employment because she failed to show that she had no reasonable alternative to leaving when she did. Having so concluded, the Commission imposed the claimant an indefinite disqualification. The Board ultimately found that the claimant had made an unwise personal financial decision. According to the Umpire, the decision of the Board to the effect that the claimant had not demonstrated just cause for leaving her employment since she had a reasonable alternative is justified in fact and in law. For these reasons, the appeal is dismissed by the Umpire.
