Summary:
The claimant was dismissed because of misuse of a company credit card for gasoline purchases to which he denies having used. The employer’s calculated the number of hours that would have to be worked on the week of May 16 for the employee to have used that much gas in the company vehicle. The hours worked were more than double what the claimant indicated were his hours of work for the week. Furthermore, no hours were claimed for Saturday May 22 and 29. The employer finds it plausible that the claimant would have worked overtime hours and not claimed for them. The Board of Referees concluded that the employer’s version of the facts was more credible than the claimant. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
