0022 5079 11 (Apr. 24, 2018) – Claimant resigned because the involuntary transfer of his junior manager meant he could not take a planned vacation, he believed he would be forced to work even more hours than the usual 45 plus-hour week, and he thought the employer would reduce his pay at the end of the year when he could not meet new production goals. Losing a planned vacation is not good cause attributable to the employer under G.L. c. 151A, § 25(e)(1). Claimant did not stay in the job long enough to show that the staffing transfer actually had this detrimental effect on his hours, or that the employer would actually reduce his pay at the end of the year. [Note: the District Court affirmed the Board of Review’s Decision.]
