Summary:
The Commission refused to pay the claimant benefits because of his own misconduct. After failing a first drug test, the claimant was suspended and went into a rehabilitation program. However, after the program he failed another drug test and was dismissed. The Board finds as fact that the claimant tested positive for cocaine and opiates on both tests. The employer had a substance policy which prohibited the use of drugs. The claimant had been made aware of the policy when he was hired. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
