Employment Law: Unemployment Compensation-Termination for Misconduct
Staff Report//August 13, 2019
Petitioner appealed a ruling reversing her award of unemployment compensation benefits after it was determined that petitioner was terminated for alleged misconduct.
Where employer’s documentary evidence did not support its testimonial evidence of petitioner’s misconduct, which included petitioner’s alleged violations of shifting unwritten rules, the commission’s finding that petitioner was properly terminated for misconduct was unsupported by the evidence
Judgment is reversed and remanded.
Valley v. Division of Employment Security (MLW No. 73665/Case No. WD82744 – 18 pages) (Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, Newton, J.) Appealed from Labor and Industrial Relations Commission (Susan Rowe, St. Louis, for appellant) (Bart Matanic, Jefferson City, for respondent).
