Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
misconduct  breach of rules 

Summary:

BOR had before it evidence of claimant's breach of company policy by failing to report an accident in which he was involved. Furthermore, claimant had already breached this policy on a previous occasion and had been suspended for doing so. The fact that the accident was not his fault and that there was no damage to the company vehicule does not alter the conclusion that he made a conscious choice to disregard company policy and as a result was dismissed from his job. There was clearly evidence to support the BOR's conclusion that he lost his job by reason of his own misconduct.
