Alaska Supreme Court

Carol Calvert, Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Labor & Workforce Development, Employment Security…

April 15, 20112011 Alas. LEXIS 27

Summary

The court affirmed the superior court's decision upholding the denial and reduction of Calvert's unemployment benefits. It held that Calvert's job was suitable, that her transportation problems and workplace conflicts did not excuse her failure to notify the employer and seek reasonable adjustments before quitting, and that she therefore did not establish good cause. The court also rejected her due-process, bias, evidentiary, and notice arguments.
