summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment just cause contrary to law
Summary:

Claimant quit his job because he was dissatisfied with his employment. According to claimant, he had a deal with his employer to put "laid-off" rather than "terminated" on the ROE but bookkeeper was honest and put "terminated". Claimant argues that the employer should have misrepresented the cause for the cessation of his employment. The BOR, the Umpire nor the FCA would consider such an argument. The FCA simply confirmed that there was sufficient evidence on file to support the BOR's decision that there were no just cause.

Summary:

The Commission suggests that 28(4)(k) is reserved for cases where there is a breach of law, as opposed to breaches contrary to ethics. I accept that something can be unethical without being illegal. However, the enumeration in 28(4) being not exhaustive, breaches of ethics can be considered.

Summary:

It appears clear to me that to order an employee to do electrical work which requires a licensed electrician and approval of the work thereafter by the proper authorities is certainly contrary to law. It was an error in law to find that this did not constitute just cause.
