Employment — unemployment benefits — voluntary termination

Leonard Piontek was receiving unemployment benefits when he quit a part-time real estate agent job. The Labor and Industry Review Commission (LIRC) determined that a voluntary termination provision, Wis. Stat. § 108.04(7)(a), was applicable and, therefore, Piontek’s voluntary decision to quit rendered him ineligible for continued unemployment benefits. We agree with LIRC’s interpretation of the statute and its application to the facts here. Accordingly, we affirm the circuit court’s order affirming LIRC’s decision. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
