Goff v Tendercare Green View, 2004
The Magistrate in this case granted the plaintiff an open award with suspended benefits because plaintiff unreasonably refused to perform reasonable employment. Specifically, the plaintiff resigned her employment and discontinued performance of reasonable employment for “personal reasons.” The testimony at trial established that the claimant did not continue with reasonable employment due to marital difficulties. As such, the Appellate Commission found that plaintiff’s benefits were properly denied. It was beyond plaintiff’s resignation for marital difficulties. Accordingly, refusal to perform reasonable employment for an entirely personal reason may constitute an unreasonable refusal of employment.
