Summary:
The claimant was not eligible to receive regular EI benefits under section 30(1) of the EI Act because he lost his employment as a result of his own misconduct. The claimant stated that his errors were not sufficiently serious to justify his immediate dismissal or to break the bond of trust between him and the employer. He did not deny using work time to conduct personal business. He also did not deny signing and agreeing to abide by the company’s policy. He agreed to the effect that his lunch time had been subtracted from the time he was accused of taking to use the Internet and make telephone calls for personal reasons. The claimant’s appeal is dismissed.
