(2) The claimant’s discharge or quitting from their most recent employer was the result of an irresistible compulsion to use or consume intoxicants, including alcoholic beverages. (3) The claimant was a student employed on a temporary basis and whose employment began within, and ended with their leaving to return to school at the close of, their vacation period. (4) The claimant left the employer’s employ to accompany their spouse or domestic partner to a place or to join their spouse at a place from which it is impractical to commute to the employment, and to which a transfer of the claimant by the employer is not available. (5) The claimant left the employer’s employ to protect their family or themselves from domestic violence abuse. (6) The claimant left the employer’s employ to take a substantially better job. The period during which the employer may submit these facts may be extended by the director for good cause. (b) A base period employer that is not entitled under Section 1327 to receive notice of the filing of a new or additional claim and is entitled under Section 1329 to receive notice of computation may, within 15 days after mailing of the notice of computation, submit to the department any facts within its possession disclosing whether the claimant left the employer’s employ voluntarily and without good cause or left under one of the following circumstances: (1) The claimant was discharged from the employment for misconduct connected with their work. (2) The claimant was a student employed on a temporary basis and whose employment began within, and ended with their leaving to return to school at the close of, their vacation period.

(4) The claimant left the employer’s employ to protect their family or themselves from domestic violence abuse. (5) The claimant left the employer’s employ to take a substantially better job. The period during which the employer may submit these facts may be extended by the director for good cause. (c) The department shall consider these facts together with any information in its possession. If the employer is entitled to a ruling under subdivision (b) or to a determination under Section 1328, the department shall promptly notify the employer of its ruling as to the cause of the termination of the claimant’s employment. The employer may appeal from a ruling or reconsidered ruling to an administrative law judge within 30 days after service of notice of the ruling or reconsidered ruling. The 30-day period may be extended for good cause, which includes, but is not limited to, mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect. The director is an interested party to an appeal. The department may for good cause reconsider a ruling or reconsidered ruling within either five days after the date an appeal to an administrative law judge is filed or, if an appeal is not filed, within 30 days after service of notice of the ruling or reconsidered ruling.
