Key legal question
Whether the on-call employment still counted as a compensable loss of work for unemployment benefits
Extracted holding
After more than four years in the same on-call job, the employment was no longer a mere bridging arrangement; the fluctuating workload was too variable to count as normal working time.
Extracted reasoning
A job taken on to bridge unemployment may initially be treated as a temporary solution, but with long duration it becomes normality and the duty to mitigate loss no longer supports treating the income as intermediate earnings.
