misconduct  breaches of company policy 

Summary:

The uncontested evidence in this case established that the claimant lost his employment due to his failure to respect the terms of his Return to Work Contract. He was under suspension for failing to attend treatment sessions when he drank, had an accident and was charged with impaired driving resulting in the loss of his driver's licence which the claimant acknowledged was required for his employment. It was specified in the Return to Work Contract that breaching any terms of the agreement could result in dismissal. The evidence clearly established that by breaching his Return to Work Contract for failure to attend treatment sessions and by losing his driver's licence, which according to his own evidence was required for his employment, the claimant had lost his employment as a result of his own misconduct. The appeal is allowed.
