Summary:
The Umpire stated that an employee who enters into competition with his employer during the course of his employment, even in the absence of a non-competition agreement, abuses the employer's trust and his dismissal for this reason constitutes dismissal for misconduct within the meaning of the Act. The Umpire ruled that the claimant created his own unemployment by ignoring his employer's request to cease his self-employment activities.
