    Hi, was wondering if anyone could advise if there is a waiting period for Jobseekers if you leave a job instead of being let go. Thanks

    Voluntarily Left Employment

    A person may be disqualified for receiving JA for up to 9 weeks from date of leaving employment if s/he has left the employment voluntarily and without just cause.

    'Good cause' is not defined and it is for the Deciding Officer to apply a common sense meaning to the expression in
    considering the case. Factors that may be taken into account could include the circumstances surrounding any changes in working conditions, the financial situation of the firm, whether leaving the employment amounted to constructive dismissal (i.e. the person left the employment following harassment/abuse from the employer).     http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Jobseekers-Allowance.aspx#disqual
