Unemployment Compensation: Denial Of Benefits – Misconduct – Sleeping
Stephanie Maniscalco//October 27, 2011//
Listen to this articleWhere an employee, who was fired for sleeping on the job, was disqualified from receiving unemployment compensation benefits based on misconduct, the appellate court is bound by the commission’s determination that the employer’s witness was more credible than the employee, and the commission did not err in finding that sleeping on the job constitutes misconduct.
Judgment is affirmed.
