Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
misconduct  breaches of company policy 

Summary:

The claimant lost his employment because of his own misconduct. He had been working in a bank and made access to his former wife's profile eighteen times while at home and at work, which was apparently against the bank's policy. The Bank's policy, however, was that the claimant should not have access to his former wife's private account. The position of the Commission is that the claimant's dismissal was a direct result of his accessing his former wife's account. That was contrary to his employer's policy. The Commission’s appeal is allowed.
