Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Sep 28, 2021
Della Scheumbauer, Claimant/Appellant, vs. City of St. Louis, Employer/Respondent, and Division of Employment Security, Respondent.
Della Scheumbauer appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's decision denying her unemployment benefits. Scheumbauer, who worked 40 hours per week for the City of St. Louis, sought benefits after being furloughed from a second job due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The appellate court affirmed, holding that a 40-hour workweek constitutes full-time employment under Chapter 288, rendering her ineligible for benefits regardless of her second job's status.
