Summary:

The employer terminated the grievor’s employment. It alleged that he made unauthorized accesses of his taxpayer account, which violated employer policies. He grieved the termination. The Board found that the employer had grounds to discipline him. He knowingly made unauthorized accesses of his account 5 times over 18 months, repeatedly attempted to conceal his misconduct after it came to light, misled the employer in the investigation, and refused to acknowledge wrongdoing or show any remorse. The termination was not excessive in the circumstances. As a long-standing employee who had been reminded regularly of the employer’s policies, he should have known better. His misconduct was compounded by the damage caused to the bond of trust in the employee-employer relationship by his refusal to admit wrongdoing, by misleading the employer to avoid responsibility, and by his lack of remorse.

Grievance denied.
