Sec.31-236-21. Good cause—hours  


Latest version.
  • (a) To determine that an individual voluntarily left suitable work for good cause attributable to the employer, the Administrator must find, with respect to hours, that:

    (1) the individual's employer:

    (A) during the course of employment, substantially changed the hours established in the employment agreement and such change had a significantly adverse effect upon the individual; or

    (B) violated state or federal law governing hours of employment and such violation had an adverse effect upon the individual; or

    (C) required the individual to work irregular or excess hours which would endanger the individual's health or safety; and

    (2) the individual expressed his dissatisfaction regarding hours to his employer and unsuccessfully sought a remedy through those means reasonably available to him before leaving his employment.

    (b) A temporary reduction in working hours to less than full-time due to lack of work does not constitute good cause attributable to the employer for voluntarily leaving employment.
