01.Burden of Proof. The claimant has the burden of proof to establish that he voluntarily left his employment with good cause in connection with the employment to be eligible for benefits.02.Cause Connected with Employment. To be connected with employment, a claimant's reason(s) for leaving the employment must arise from the working conditions, job tasks, or employment agreement. If the claimant's reason(s) for leaving the employment arise from personal/non job-related matters, the reasons are not connected with the claimant's employment.03.Good Cause. The standard of what constitutes good cause is the standard of reasonableness as applied to the average man or woman. Whether good cause is present depends upon whether a reasonable person would consider the circumstances resulting in the claimant's unemployment to be real, substantial, and compelling.04.Moral or Ethical Quit. A claimant who leaves a job because of a reasonable and serious objection to the work requirements of the employer on moral or ethical grounds and is otherwise eligible, will not be denied benefits.05.Quit Due to Health or Physical Condition. A claimant whose unemployment is due to his health or physical condition which makes it impossible for him to continue to perform the duties of the job will be deemed to have quit work with good cause connected with employment.06.Quit for Permanent Work or Quit Part-Time Work for Increase in Work Hours. A claimant who quits a temporary job for a permanent job or who quits part-time employment for employment with an increase in the number of hours of work will be deemed to have quit work with good cause connected with employment.07.Quit or Retirement During Employer Downsizing. An individual who has continuing suitable work available and who voluntarily elects to retire or to terminate employment during a period of reorganization or downsizing will be deemed to have voluntarily quit the employment for personal reasons.08.Unrelated Discharge Prior to Pending Resignation. The eligibility of a claimant discharged before a pending resignation has occurred for reasons unrelated to the pending resignation will be determined on the basis of the discharge.09.When Notice of Resignation Prompts a Discharge. If a claimant had given notice of a pending resignation, but was discharged before the effective date of the resignation, both "separations" must be considered. The following three (3) elements should be present for both actions to affect the claimant's eligibility: a. The employee gave notice to the employer of a specific separation date;b. The employer's decision to discharge the claimant before the effective date of the resignation was a consequence of the pending separation; andc. The discharge occurred a short time prior to the effective date of the resignation.10.Quit Due to Harassment. Good cause for quitting employment may be established by showing the party was subjected to any form of harassment that is unlawful under the Idaho Human Rights Act, Title 67, Chapter 59, Idaho Code.Idaho Admin.
