0026 2258 07

0026 2258 07 (Apr. 24, 2019) – The claimant failed to show that her decision to accept a voluntary separation package and leave her employment was based upon a reasonable fear of imminent layoff. This is without regard to whether the employer hired additional personnel after the claimant separated, because this is immaterial to the claimant’s knowledge and the reasonableness of her belief at the time she made the decision to resign.

0002 1755 35

0002 1755 35 (Aug. 6, 2014) – A week after discharging the claimant property manager for poor job performance connected to unreconciled deficiencies in the accounts receivable, the employer uncovered an embezzlement scheme. In disqualifying the claimant for deliberate misconduct, the Board accepted the employer’s “after acquired evidence,” because it was linked substantively to the reason for the claimant’s discharge.

BR-110773

BR-110773 (Jan. 27, 2010) – Even if the claimant's credibility was in doubt, the review examiner may not ignore competent medical evidence that claimant's medical condition rendered him unable to either perform, or make efforts to preserve, his job.  Majority held this to be an involuntary separation, rendering claimant eligible for benefits.
