A claimant terminated for a DUI conviction resulting in loss of his driver’s license that interferes with commuting to work does not leave work either voluntarily or by constructive quit. Where driving is not directly within the scope of the employee’s job, but the employer terminated the employee nonetheless, the claimant cannot be viewed as having created a “bar” to his continued employment simply by losing an unrestricted driver’s license. Moreover, the separation is not a voluntary quit, rather, claimant was discharged under § 25(e)(2).
