Summary:
The claimant did not show up for work on October 24, 2007 and was dismissed the next day. He said he asked for the morning off and his supervisor agreed. When he went home after attending to the matters for which he had requested time off he went to sleep and did not wake up until 4:00 p.m. The employer confirmed that the claimant had requested time off which was approved but that he did not show up for work all day. The fact is the crew manager only allowed the claimant a couple of hours to come in late that morning. The claimant should have called the crew chief. The claimant was given verbal and written warnings about his tardiness and he was given a final written warning on 21 June 2007 and told he would be dismissed should he fail to show up for work, specifically not calling to inform his Manager/Supervisor. The appeal is dismissed.
