Woman Denied Unemployment Benefits After Detailing Efforts to Avoid Work
Friday, January 19, 2007
*DES MOINES, Iowa No work, no pay.*
Unemployment <#> benefits are being denied to an Iowa hotel worker who was
fired for using her employer's computer to keep a journal of her efforts to
avoid work.
A supervisor found the journal late last year and fired *Emmalee
Bauer*<javascript:siteSearch('Emmalee Bauer');>for misuse of company
time.
The journal was entered into evidence at a recent state hearing dealing with
Bauer's request for unemployment benefits. Bauer testified the journal was
intended to help her deal <#> with anxiety and frustration.
Administrative Law Judge *Susan Ackerman* <javascript:siteSearch('Susan
Ackerman');> denied Bauer's request. The judge says the journal demonstrated
Bauer's refusal to work, as well as her "amusement at getting away with it."
