In Bindas v. Administrator, Ohio Bur. of Emp. Services (1990), 8th Dist. No. 57425, 1990 Ohio App, the Commission determined that the "lack of work" exception under R.C. 4141.29(D)(2)(a)(ii) did not apply to employees who opted for an early buy-out retirement program that would allow an employer to hire new workers at a lower rate of pay. The buy-out program was part of the employees' labor agreement and was voluntary. Employees who participated in the program later sought unemployment compensation benefits. The Administrator of the Ohio Bureau of Employment Services allowed the receipt of benefits, determining that the program constituted a voluntary layoff.
