misconduct  breaches of company policy 

Summary:

The claimant was dismissed from his employment for alleged business solicitation of clients of his employer for the benefit of his own company. The claimant admitted that he completed work for a client for his own benefit and he referred the client for further work to another company. The business card that the claimant provided to the client listed the claimant's cell phone number. The claimant admitted that he was subcontracting for this latter company. The Board concluded that the conduct of the claimant amounted to misconduct. The "Business Protection Agreement" signed by the claimant clearly stated that ''...breach of this Agreement shall be considered immediate grounds for termination with cause..."
