Summary:
The employer dismissed the claimant after an audit conducted more than a year later revealed an overpayment in the claimant's pay. The claimant acknowledged that she had been aware of the overpayment, but that she failed to inform the employer because, at that time, she was preoccupied with her mother's health. The claimant stated that she never intended to defraud her employer and that she had even offered to repay the amount. The employer stated that it lost trust in the claimant because she benefitted for all that time without saying a word. In view of this breach of trust, the employer stated that it had no choice but to dismiss the claimant. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed.
