Summary:
The claimant was dismissed because he was using a company computer for improper purposes. The claimant undertook to use his employer’s computer equipment without permission and accessed, downloaded and viewed pornography and/or sexually explicit material both of which was in direct contravention of the employer’s policy and stated rules. The Board finds the claimant’s loss of employment was a direct result of his own misconduct. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
