Description
Claimant John Melvin Clay has appealed from the order of the Industrial Commission denying him unemployment compensation benefits for which he applied after leaving a job with Crooks Industries. Clay had been employed by Crooks Industries at various times over a fifteen year period, but he had last begun work for it during August of 1971 when he was hired, according to the testimony of John Crooks, the owner of Crooks Industries, as a shop engineer whose duties were of a much higher nature than that of a welder or machinist because of his inventive mind. Clay, who considered himself as, and was considered by Crooks to be an inventor, testified that it was his understanding when he was hired that after he helped Crooks Industries complete the construction of a machine shop building project he would be given an opportunity to use some of his working time while in Crooks' employ to pursue certain independent inventive projects of his own. Crooks testified that when he hired Clay the possibility was discussed and he told Clay that after the completion of the building project they would endeavor to pursue some inventive ideas together and, in the meantime, Clay had consented to work for him on the building during the completion of the building project. Clay continued working for Crooks until March of 1973 when the building project was nearing completion. During that time Clay was employed primarily on the building project, work which Crooks described as of a more humble nature than his qualifications. As the building project neared completion, it appeared to Clay that he would not soon be given the opportunity to pursue his inventive bent as he thought he would when he agreed to go to work for Crooks. As a result he requested that his name be removed from the payroll until this question concerning the terms of his employment could be resolved. Crooks testified that because of adverse business conditions he would not be able to allow Clay to work on his own inventive projects. Clay never returned to work for Crooks after this, and he later filed a claim for unemployment compensation because he was then without a job.
