0025 1670 85 (Nov. 16, 2018) – Claimant submitted his resignation with a verbal job offer in hand that was specific as to his position, shift, location, and salary, but which was contingent upon passing a drug screen and background check. Where the new employer rescinded the offer based upon a break in past employment that the claimant had already revealed during the interview, the claimant could not reasonably have anticipated that he would not be hired. Held he left in good faith to accept new permanent, full-time employment and became separated for good cause attributable to the new employing unit pursuant to G.L. c. 151A, § 25(e).
