Sec.31-236-18. Voluntary leaving defined

In order to establish that an individual left suitable work voluntarily, the Administrator must find that the individual committed the specific intentional act of terminating his own employment. The Administrator may not find that an individual left suitable work voluntarily if:

(1) upon notification by his employer of a future layoff or discharge, the individual exercised an option, expressly given by his employer, to leave his employment immediately; or

(2) the individual left work as the result of a demand by his employer to either quit or be discharged; or

(3) the individual tendered a notice of resignation to his employer and that employer discharged the individual before the expiration of the notice, except where the employer simultaneously paid the individual in full for the period of notice; or

(4) The individual attempted to rescind a notice of resignation tendered to his employer prior to the expiration of the notice period and the employer had not yet taken substantial steps to replace him.
