Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 43, October 25, 2024

Section R6-3-50135.02 - Quit or Discharge; Volunteering for Layoff

When a worker's separation is the result of the worker volunteering for a layoff or furlough due to a reduction in the work force, the Department shall determine whether a disqualification is assessed based on whether the employer or the worker initiated the action.

1. The separation is a discharge for nondisqualifying reasons when the employer determines that a layoff is to occur and then asks if there are workers who will volunteer for the layoff or volunteer to accept the employer's retirement plan.

2. The separation is a voluntary leaving without good cause when a worker requests or volunteers for layoff status prior to any specific announcement by the employer and the employer acts upon the request, unless the worker establishes that the leaving was for a compelling personal reason.
