Key legal question
Whether the 32-day suspension for self-inflicted unemployment was justified.
Extracted holding
The suspension was justified, but the sanction was excessive and had to be reduced.
Extracted reasoning
The offered new contract would have lowered the insured person's annual salary from 99,300 to 71,500 francs, a reduction of about 28%, which did not make the work unreasonable under unemployment insurance law. He should have accepted the contractual change and kept the job until finding other employment.
