Summary:
The employer states the claimant could not be kept on staff due to his misconduct which consisted using the company's vehicle and issuing receipts for work done, but pocketing the money since the work was done on his own account. He was competing with his employer for personal gains. The employer confirmed the vehicle is to be used for business purposes only and any unauthorized use of the company vehicle would result in immediate dismissal. The BOR found that the claimant did in fact use the employer's vehicle for personal use and concluded there was misconduct. The Umpire concluded that, in this case, it was basically an issue of credibility. The Board concluded the claimant had not been truthful and his version was not acceptable.
