Summary:
Because of moving violations and the claimant's driving record, the employer's insurance company could not continue to insure the company's vehicle operated by him. The Umpire stated that the claimant's position was to operate heavy machinery and to do this; he must have a valid driver's licence as a condition of employment and insurance coverage for both the driver and the machine must be available to the employer. The judge concluded that the claimant failed to fulfill an essential condition of his employment and it was misconduct under the Act.
