Summary:
The claimant was suspended for excessive use of his employer’s computer network and for using the network for personal and inappropriate purposes, which was against the employer’s code of ethics. The claimant failed to mention that the tolerance policy makes a point of clarifying that the employer’s intranet and Internet networks must be used reasonably and appropriately, and that circulation of messages or photos of a sexual nature is prohibited. The claimant does not dispute the usage but that certain co-workers had acted as he had and had not been penalized for doing so. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
