Summary:
The Commission refused to pay EI benefits because the claimant lost his employment as a result of his own misconduct. According to the employer, the claimant was dismissed because he refused to sign the employer's code of conduct. According to the claimant, this was not misconduct, but rather a disagreement on a contract. Moreover, the discipline guidelines did not apply to his duties. The claimant had wanted changes to be made to the code of conduct because several sections did not apply to him, but the employer refused. Employees must obey reasonable orders so that the workplace can operate effectively. By rebelling against a reasonable order, workers make themselves guilty of misconduct. The claimant's appeal is dismissed.
