  1. Busch v. Reserve Min. Co.

    415 N.W.2d 892 (Minn. Ct. App. 1987)   Cited 2 times
    In Busch v. Reserve Mining Co., 415 N.W.2d 892 (Minn.Ct.App. 1987), the Minnesota Court of Appeals held that the employer's agreement with the employee's union which obligated the employer to make a special pension payment "for the first three full calendar months following the month in which retirement occurs" was specific enough to allow allocation of the lump-sum payment for the purposes of offsetting the employee's receipt of weekly unemployment compensation benefits.

    Thus, those two vacation weeks would actually offset four weeks of unemployment compensation benefits. A similar issue was addressed in the Pennsylvania case of Unemployment Compensation Board of Review v. U.S. Steel Corp., 19 Pa. Commw. 595, 338 A.2d 786 (1985). There also, the employer's special initial pension was a lump sum amount calculated by multiplying the employee's weekly vacation pay rate for the year of retirement by 13 weeks and deducting the amount of any vacation pay which had been received for that year.
