Summary:
The claimant was dismissed because the reports of the employer showed an improper use of Internet for personal purposes, while the claimant was aware that such use contravened an employer’s policy restricting the use of Internet for work purposes only. The claimant knew he had accessed Internet sites that were inappropriate and not allowed. He was also aware of the employer’s Internet use policy and the fact that contravening this policy could result in an immediate dismissal. The Commission concluded that the claimant’s actions constituted misconduct within the meaning of the Act. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the employer.
