FINDINGS OF FACT
The claimant, Susan S. Bailey, was employed by Mutual of Omaha
from May 29, 1990 until December 7, 1992 as a technical
assistant earning an annual salary of $22,000. As a result
of the claimant's extended authorized Thanksgiving vacation,
she had exhausted all of her leave time. The claimant
worked on December 7, 1992 for one half day and left to
take care of a sick child. She called her employer
on the 8th and 9th.
On December 10, 1992, the claimant did not call and did not
show up for work. Her employer phoned her and was informed,
by the claimant, that she had to take her sick child to
the hospital. December 11, 1992 resulted in no call/no
show on the part of the claimant. A co-worker went to
the claimant's residence and determined that she had moved.
In the instant case, the claimant abandoned her position
pursuant to company policy. The claimant was informed
that she needed to maintain contact with her employer
in order to determine her availability for work
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The Maryland Code, Labor and Employment Article, Title 8,
Section 1001 provides that an individual shall be disqualified
for benefits where his unemployment is due to leaving
work voluntarily, without good cause arising from or connected
with the conditions of employment or actions of the employer.
The preponderance of the credible evidence in the record
will support a conclusion that the claimant voluntarily
separated from employment, without good cause, within
the meaning of Title 8, Section 1001.
DECISION
It is held that the unemployment of the claimant was due
to leaving work voluntarily, without good cause, within
the meaning of Maryland Code, Labor and Employment Article,
Title 8, Section 1001. Benefits are denied for the week
beginning December 6, 1992 and until the claimant becomes
reemployed, earns at least ten times her weekly benefit
amount in covered wages, and thereafter becomes unemployed
through no fault of her own.
The determination of the Claims Examiner is modified.
