Summary:
The employer stated that the claimant was terminated for integrity of records. He was caught forging the signature of a client. He already received a final written warning in April 2007 for misappropriation. The claimant stated that he was not supposed to forge anyone's signature and yet did it anyway because he was under pressure and wanted to cut corners. He did not think he would get fired because it was not an important document. The deliberate action of the claimant, a mortgage specialist, constituted misconduct because it breached the relationship between the employer and employee. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
