Summary:
The claimant stated that she was dismissed because her employer found out that she had been implicated in a criminal act, which involved the fraudulent use of a credit card. The claimant had been imprisoned for five days after accusations of fraud with her former spouse, she could not make a long-distance call from jail and therefore could not contact her employer to notify it of her absence. The employer stated that the claimant was dismissed because she failed to show up for work on three consecutive days without a valid reason and without notifying the employer.
The Umpire allowed the Commission's appeal.
