Syllabus

Unemployment compensation just cause to quit failure to pay as promised. UCRC's decision finding no just cause to quit and disallowing employee's unemployment compensation benefits was against the manifest weight of the evidence. Hearing officer's decision improperly found that employee's failure to quit \immediately\ and failure to notify anyone other than his immediate supervisor of workplace issues did not amount to just cause to quit. Furthermore, hearing officer improperly concluded that the employer's failure to address the employee's concerns was reasonable just cause to quit, under unemployment compensation law, focuses on the conduct of the employee, not the employer.
