(b) In which his unemployment is due to voluntarily leaving
work without cause of a necessitous and compelling nature,
irrespective of whether or not such work is in "employment" as
defined in this act: Provided, That a voluntary leaving work
because of a disability if the employer is able to provide other
suitable work, shall be deemed not a cause of a necessitous and
compelling nature: And provided further, That no employe shall
be deemed to be ineligible under this section for voluntarily
leaving work if the individual reasonably believes that due to a
domestic violence situation the individual's continued
employment would jeopardize the safety of the individual, and in
that case, the domestic violence situation shall be verified by
reasonable and confidential documentation as determined by the
department in consultation with the Office of Victim Advocate,
to include a statement supporting the existence of recent
domestic violence from a qualified professional from whom the
individual has sought assistance, such as a counselor, shelter
worker, member of the clergy, attorney or health care worker or
any type of evidence that reasonably proves domestic violence,
but the department may not require an active or recently issued
protective or other order documenting domestic violence, or a
police record documenting recent domestic violence, although a
claimant may present that documentation as evidence: And
provided further, That no employe shall be deemed to be
ineligible under this subsection where as a condition of
continuing in employment such employe would be required to join
or remain a member of a company union or to resign from or
refrain from joining any bona fide labor organization, or to
accept wages, hours or conditions of employment not desired by a
majority of the employes in the establishment or the occupation,
