Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
misconduct  refusal to obey orders 

Summary:

It was undoubtedly wrong for claimant to lie to his supervisor that he had carried out a direction when he had not done so. It is hard to see this as other than a minor misfeasance in the career of a store manager (7 years) who was hard pressed on a particular day for circumstances beyond control.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
misconduct  definition 

Summary:

The Board simply equated a lie with misconduct. When the finding of misconduct by statute automatically results in complete denial of benefits, a higher standard than this must surely be applied.
