Connecticut Administrative Code
Title 31 - Labor
236 - Eligibility for Unemployment Compensation
Section 31-236-20 - Good cause-wages

Current through December 12, 2024

To determine that an individual voluntarily left suitable work for good cause attributable to the employer, the Administrator must find, with respect to wages, that the individual's employer:

(1)

(A) breached the original employment agreement or made a material misrepresentation at the time of hire; or

(B) violated state or federal statute or regulation governing payment of wages and such violation had an adverse effect upon the individual; or

(C) failed to grant the individual a wage increase in violation of his employment contract or a previously established express commitment by his employer; or

(D) unilaterally reduced the individual's rate of pay; or

(E) failed to provide remuneration in the form of cash or negotiable check, unless the employment contract specifically provided otherwise; or

(F) paid compensation based on piece rate, commission or similar method which resulted in a wage significantly lower than that which the individual had reason to expect under the employment agreement, provided such unsatisfactory wage was not caused by the individual's wilful disregard of the reasonable requirements for proper job performance; and

(2) the individual expressed his dissatisfaction regarding wages to his employer and unsuccessfully sought a remedy through those means reasonably available to him before leaving his employment.
