Utah Admin. Code R994-405-101 - Voluntary Leaving (Quit) - General Information

(1) A separation is considered voluntary if the claimant was the moving party in ending the employment relationship. A voluntary separation includes leaving existing work, or failing to return to work after:

(a) an employer attached layoff which meets the requirements for a deferral under R994-403-108b(1)(c),

(b) a suspension, or

(c) a period of absence initiated by the claimant.

(2) Failing to renew an employment contract may also constitute a voluntary separation.

(3) Two standards must be applied in voluntary separation cases: good cause and equity and good conscience. If good cause is not established, the claimant's eligibility must be considered under the equity and good conscience standard.
