Riggs v. NUTRITION AND CHILD SERVICES

Opinion

Order

PER CURIAM.

Yolanda Riggs appeals the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission’s (“Commission”) decision disqualifying her from receiving immediate unemployment com *529 pensation benefits on the basis that she left work voluntarily without good cause attributable to her work or employer, Nutrition and Child Services Agency (“NCSA”). In her sole point on appeal, Riggs contends that the Commission erred in affirming the Division of Employment Security Appeals referee’s decision that she voluntarily left her employment without good cause related to her work or employer because the facts found by the Commission do not support the award denying her benefits and there was insufficient competent evidence in the record to warrant such a decision by the Division, in that the undisputed evidence showed that she quit her job only after being required to perform illegal actions on the employer’s behalf and after finding replacement employment, which was reasonable.

Affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
