Description: The proposal would implement the decision of the State Supreme Court in the case of Spain v. Employment Security Department, issued on June 19, 2008. The court held that the list of good cause reasons for leaving work in the voluntary quit statute is not exclusive. The department has authority to decide if individuals have other good cause to quit work.

3rd emergency rule (PDF, 146 KB) -- The emergency rules will not be renewed when they expire in August. Chapter 493, Laws of 2009, provides that, for all job separations occurring on or after September 6, 2009, the good cause reasons for voluntarily leaving work that are listed in statute form an exclusive list. This means the department does not have the discretion to hold that individuals have good cause for quitting work for reasons not listed in the statute. This makes this rule-making action moot.
