How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- reversing unemployment board of review’s decision because there were no findings of substantial disregard of the employer’s interest, either willful or culpably negligent, to support its conclusion that employee had waived right to unemployment compensation
- employee’s absences from work for good cause, with appropriate notice to employer, while perhaps grounds for discharge, do not disqualify an employee from benefits
- “Absences ... for good cause, with appropriate notice, are not misconduct. They may be grounds for discharge, but not for penalty. Substantial disregard for the employer’s interest is not shown, and this is essential to a finding of misconduct.”
