Where a claimant takes the initiative in severing the employer-employee relationship, he or she will be considered to have voluntarily left that employment. Claimants who do voluntarily leave will not be entitled to receive benefits unless they can establish they had "just cause" for doing so.
Voluntary leaving includes the refusal of employment offered as an alternative to an anticipated loss of employment; the refusal to resume an employment; and, the refusal to continue in an employment after the employer's operation is transferred to another employer.
