Summary:
The claimant worked for his father and was laid off. While receiving benefits, the claimant reported that he continued to do the same work on a volunteer basis for his father for approximately 40 hours a week. Moreover, the company paid him for 10 hours a week and the claimant considered the other 30 hours to be volunteer work. Umpire decided that the claimant was not unemployed. Decision upheld by the Court. The claimant was not a disinterested party. He worked to save his father's business and he received $90 a week from that business.
