iowa
thanks i'm starting to understand
my state iowa is an right to work state. Either me or the employer can end the employment at any time for any or no reason.
When this employment relation ends does,nt my agreement to follow their rules also end?
I was fired - ok
I was approved for unemployment -ok
my employer appealed the descision - they said "i should be disqualified under the misconduct definition (a) Specifically as the term is used in the disqualification provision as being limited to conduct evincing such willful or wonton disregard of an employers interest as is found in deliberate violation or disregard of standards of behavior".
I've got a hearing scheduled can i say they were wrong to assume i would agree to all the specifics of the handbook again. just because i did it once? am i not allowed to learn from previous mistakes?
circomstances (short version)
I was at work spraying acid on roof
I had a minor accident(seal on sprayer broke, spraying acid on me)
I called for help on 2 way radio - no responce
I called for help on pool emergency phone - 10 rings no answer
There was no fire alarm or i would of used it
I got to work shop, used eyewashstation, sink to wash up. I could still see
but my cloths were soaked through in spots.It iched and burned mildly
minuts later a co-worker arrived in shop. I told him what happened. He said the boss was in meeting, unavailable. I told him i was leaving to take a shower.
I was fired for not notifying anyone i was leaving. the rules i signed the last time i worked there says I have to notify someone
