Typically, a change in hours worked can be good cause for quitting; refer to my articles in the Unemployment Claims category for more about this. But, in her case, her issue was a change in her child care provider, which triggered the change in her hours. Since this had nothing to do with the employer, she quit for a personal reason, which is not enough to qualify for benefits.
A client with a Shell station had an employee who quit. She filed for unemployment benefits because she claimed her hours changed and that the owner “belittled” her. The Unemployment Agency awarded her benefits. My client protested and got it reversed. Then she protested and it was scheduled before an administrative law judge. Well, she never showed up, so she lost by default. Had she shown up, she might have won because the case was before a very “employee friendly” judge. Yes, there are some of these judges that almost always rule in favor of the employee, no matter what.
