Summary:
In his application for benefits, the claimant stated that he had been dismissed. The employer indicated that the claimant had been giving preferential treatment when issuing passports to individuals he knew without applying the approved practices and procedures and without charging the associated fees. The claimant added that the employer had no policy in regard to such conduct. The Commission repeatedly attempted to obtain a copy of the employer’s investigation report and its policy in regard to the preferential treatment given to applicants but the employer had never provided. The Board reviewed the evidence and concluded that the claimant could not have suspected that his behaviour could jeopardize his employment, given that this had been in accordance with a long-standing practice. The appeal by the employer is dismissed by the Umpire.
