Section 1256-14 - Voluntary Leaving -Good Cause -Experience or Training(a) Scope. This section interprets whether an individual leaves most recent work with or without good cause when the leaving is because the work did not utilize the individual's skills or the individual believes that his or her experience or training is insufficient to do the work or the work did not present an opportunity to acquire the experience or training desired in another job or occupation. Sections 1256-1, 1256-2, and 1256-3 of these regulations set forth general principles also applicable under this section.(b) Nonutilization of Skills. An individual who leaves the most recent work because it does not utilize his or her highest work skills has left the work without good cause. However, an individual may be hired to perform work requiring the use of certain skills but instead at the time of first reporting to work is permanently assigned by the employer to other work. If the individual after a brief period of working finds that the skills cannot be utilized in the assigned work, and leaves the work for this reason, the leaving is with good cause.(c) Insufficient Experience or Training. An individual who leaves the most recent work due to a belief that the individual has insufficient experience or training to do the work does not have a compelling reason for leaving and has left the work without good cause.(d) Lack of Opportunity for Experience or Training. An individual who leaves the most recent work because it does not offer experience or training in another occupation which the individual desires to enter has left work without good cause. For example, a food server who is studying typing and leaves the work due to a desire to obtain routine office work with some required typing to obtain experience has left work without good cause.Cal.
