Summary:
The claimant lost his driver's licence. He was stopped by the police while driving a city employer's vehicle under the influence of alcohol. It was a requirement for his employment that he have a license to drive. The employer had a no tolerance policy with respect to alcohol in the workplace. He was in breach of the employer's policy. The claimant knew that he had drunk and he was going to drive a motor vehicle; that in itself is the act of misconduct. His act was deliberate and contrary to the employer's rules. The majority Board of Referees decision was erroneous finding of fact.
