(1) The location of your employment must have changed due to employer action. The change must have:
(a) Substantially increased the distance you
travel to the new worksite or increased the difficulty or inconvenience of
travel; and
(b) Resulted in a
commute distance or time that is greater than is customary for workers in your
job classification and labor market area.
(2) For purposes of this section:
(a) "Job classification" means your
occupation at the time you quit work;
(b) "Labor market area" means the geographic
area in which workers in your location and occupation customarily work. In
determining whether a labor union's jurisdictional area is consistent with an
individual member's labor market, the department will determine where the
majority of union members in that member's location and occupation customarily
work.
(3) Good cause for quitting work cannot be established under this section if the worksite location and distance to work was known at the time of hire.
