Cause Connected with Employment

			 unemployment to be real, substantial, and compelling. (3-23-22)

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: (3-23-22)
a. The employee gave
			 notice to the employer of a specific separation date; (3-23-22)
b. The employer's decision to discharge the
			 claimant before the effective date of the resignation was a consequence of the
			 pending separation; and (3-23-22)

			 to the effective date of the resignation. (3-23-22)
