The inexcusable loss of any employment by a claimant, since the beginning of his or her qualifying period, will trigger the application of the disqualification under section 30 of the Employment Insurance Act regardless of whether it was a part-time job held concurrently with another or, whether it occurred after the establishment of a benefit period based on a lay-off from some other regular employment. The word "employment" in the legislation refers to the last employment lost by the claimant by reason of the claimant's own misconduct after the commencement of the qualifying period.
