Clarke v. North Detroit General Hospital
Michigan Supreme Court
Decided May 28, 1991No. Docket Nos. 86437, 86438, (Calendar No. 11)PublishedCited by 6 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtLevin, J.
The question presented is whether Edna T. Clarke and Toni R. Dawson, nurses employed by the defendant hospitals, who were discharged after they failed nursing board licensing examinations, are entitled to unemployment compensation benefits. We hold that they did not leave work "voluntarily” when they were discharged after they failed the examinations and are entitled to benefits. Because they did not leave work voluntarily, no issue is presented whether they left work "voluntarily without good cause attributable to the employer.” MCL 421.29(l)(a); MSA 17.531(l)(a). (Emphasis added.)
