Summary:
The employer told the claimant he was being dismissed for breach of security. Specifically, as a result of other confidentiality concerns, the employer began monitoring Mr. X's emails and concluded he had breached security and confidentiality policies by sending an email with vendor passwords and account information to his home email account. The Commission found the action of sending the email was a wilful or deliberate act that breached company policy. The claimant was aware of and that he had reviewed and understood the policies in the "Employee Handbook - Confidentiality Agreement, Email Users Responsibilities, General Security Policy" on July 11, 2008. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed.
