UI Decision 3/13/2000

Claimant worked as a store Santa Claus. He was fired for doing personal business on company time after having once been warned. Prior warning (probation) was for using ATM; this time claimant picked up some merchandise which he had ordered before his shift but could not pick up on personal time because he was not given a break. BOR finds that his conduct was not intentional and credits his testimony that the store policy was not uniformly enforced. BR-269454 Advocate: Patti Prunhuber, WMLS
