Summary:
Claimant failed to report to work from April 9 to April 26, 2001 without notifying his employer and spent his time gambling in casinos. He said that he was a compulsive gambler and was in a deep state of confusion and depression as a result of recent losses and financial debt. Umpire stated that absenteeism from work without notifying the employer and supplying a valid reason evinces a wilful and wanton disregard of the interests of the employer and a disregard of a standard of behaviour an employer has a right to expect of an employee.
