Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Feb 28, 2023
Melanie L. Hill, Appellant, vs. S.M. Huber Enterprises, Inc., and Division of Employment Security, Respondents.
Melanie L. Hill appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's decision denying her unemployment benefits. Hill, a temporary employee, contended the Commission erred in finding she voluntarily quit, arguing her departure was due to illness and that she attempted to contact her employer for reassignment. The appellate court affirmed the Commission's decision, deferring to its factual finding that Hill did not contact her employer for reassignment, which constituted a voluntary quit under the relevant statutes.
