Opinion

No. BN-21.

February 13, 1987.

Appeal from the Unemployment Appeals Commission.

Mark A. Hanley of Shackleford, Farrior, Stallings Evans, P.A., Tampa, for appellant.

Lucille A. Leonard, pro se.

Geri Atkinson-Hazelton, General Counsel, and John D. Maher, Unemployment Appeals Com'n, Tallahassee, for appellee/Florida Unemployment Appeals Com'n.


We reverse the order of the Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission upholding the appeals referee's determination that the employee, Lucille Leonard, was entitled to unemployment compensation benefits. The employee worked for Sun State Services, Inc., a temporary nursing service, as a home health aide taking work assignments when they were available and she felt like working. The employee voluntarily terminated her employment, without good cause attributable to her employer, on or about May 10, 1985, after finishing an assignment, when she left Florida to go to Illinois to take care of an ailing sister.
