Summary:
The claimant was not eligible to receive benefits because he lost his employment as a result of his own misconduct under sections 29 and 30 of the EI Act. On December 31, 2009 the claimant was dismissed from his employment as he was scheduled to work the afternoons of December 29 to December 31 inclusive but he did not show up for work. Upon receipt of the work schedule, he advised his employer by e-mail that he did not accept the schedule. The claimant had requested to be removed from the schedule but it was not approved. The supervisor attempted to reach the claimant five times on Monday, December 28. The claimant ignored those calls. The appeal by the claimant was dismissed.
