District Court of Appeal of Florida

An order of the Unemployment Appeals Commission finding that appellant was not eligible for unemployment compensation benefits after she voluntarily quit her job is affirmed where the circumstances, in which a nanny who cared for appellant's seven-month-old child quit resulting in appellant's requesting and being denied a leave of absence, did not constitute a "family emergency" for purposes of the good cause inquiry.
