Holding
The court finds the claimant to be at fault for the termination of her employment and dismisses her claims for pay in lieu of notice, compensation for unfair termination, and underpayment.
Facts
Claimant worked as a pump attendant for the Respondent from 2006 to 2013, taking maternity leave in July 2013. She did not return to work as scheduled and was eventually terminated.
Issues
- Whether the claimant deserted work without notice or was unfairly terminated.
- Whether the orders sought ought to issue.
Reasoning
The court rules that the claimant failed to return from her maternity leave and was therefore treated as having abandoned her duties, leading to the termination of her employment.
Outcome
Claimant awarded salary arrears and prorata leave, with a counterclaim for salary in lieu of notice.

- Award of salary arrears and prorata leave
