Summary:
The Commission determined that the claimant had lost her employment due to her misconduct. In the termination letter from the employer, it said that the claimant and her dependents fraudulently claimed to have received paramedical services, i.e. physiotherapy and massage treatments, and attempted to obtain benefits from the City for those services. The employer stated that the claimant created receipts using the name and Registration numbers of several therapists and submitted these on the templates from five different Health Care Centres. The employer confirmed that the investigation and the grievance have been on-going since 2008. There were approximately between 50 and 100 possible fraudulent receipts submitted. The claimant never denied the allegations against her, she indicated that she had grieved her dismissal and that her grievance was proceeding. The appeal by the commission is allowed by the Umpire.
