Summary:
The Umpire concluded that not reporting for work and failing to communicate with his employer to explain why he had not done so, constitutes voluntarily quitting without just cause, and in any event, "the foolish mistakes that caused him to find himself in custody", to use the claimant's words, would constitute misconduct supporting the employer's decision not to take him back. The issue was not whether he would be found guilty or not, it was whether the claimant had lost his employment either as a result of quitting without just cause or being dismissed due to his misconduct. It was the claimant's conduct that led to his situation of being arrested.
