03A01-9706-CH-00218

The Appeals Tribunal and the Board of Review held that this appellee was disqualified to receive unemployment insurance benefits because she voluntarily quit her job without good cause. Judicial review was sought by the appellee, and the decision of the Board of Review was reversed by the Chancellor, who found that “there was no substantial evidence to support the finding of fact that the petitioner’s shift change was temporary.” The employer appeals and presents for review the propriety of the reversal of the decision of the Board of Review.
