Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Oct 4, 2022
Jonathan Clayton, Appellant, vs. Jars TD, Inc., and Division of Employment Security, Respondents.
Jonathan Clayton appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's decision disqualifying him from unemployment benefits, arguing his former employer, Jars TD, Inc., improperly objected to his claim and that the Commission lacked competent evidence to find he voluntarily quit without good cause. The appellate court affirmed the Commission's decision on the merits, holding that Jars TD, as his last employer, properly protested the claim and that Clayton failed to act in good faith by quitting his job after only ten to fifteen minutes without allowing his employer to resolve a safety concern. The court dismissed Clayton's third point on appeal as multifarious.
