misconduct  alcohol, drugs and gambling 

Summary:

Suspended for having taken an amount of $500 belonging to the company, because he liked to gamble. Umpire found that the fact that the claimant might suffer from a pathological behaviour pattern that incited him to gamble in no way altered the fact that the employer was justified in suspending the claimant because of what he did. The BOR took the wrong direction in basing its decision on the fact that, in its opinion, the claimant had in no way wished to commit a reprehensible act.
