The Insurance Court overturned the Unemployment Security Board's decision to deny unemployment benefits to a sales representative. The court found that the representative's working hours did not meet the legal threshold of four-fifths of a full-time employee's maximum hours because the employment contracts lacked specific provisions regarding working time. Consequently, the court ruled that the applicant was not entitled to the adjusted unemployment allowance.
