Summary:
The claimant is disentitled by the Commission from receiving benefits following a 90-day suspension imposed by the employer for voluntarily behaving unethically toward patients, colleagues and performing duties normally carried out only by the institution's nurses to residential in a long-term care centre. The claimant does not agree that what the employer alleges constitutes misconduct. It is perhaps true that the claimant has her own way of interacting with the patients of the residence where she has worked for over 30 years. The claimant knew or should have known that through her actions, she was breaking the institution's internal regulations. The claimant has filed a union grievance against the employer to contest her suspension. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
