Summary:
An initial claim for employment insurance benefits was established. The Commission allocated the vacation, severance and wages in lieu of notice. The Board of Referees reviewed the legislation and jurisprudence governing allocations and correctly concluded that the Commission’s calculations were correct. As the Board stated, the problem arises because claimants are not properly informed when they are temporarily laid off that if the lay-off becomes permanent, any severance or vacation payments then made will be allocated back and an overpayment will result. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
