Description
This appeal stems from the State Department of Labor's (DOL) refusal to award Terry Smith unemployment insurance benefits.
Smith worked as a cashier for Pay 'n Save Stores, Inc. (Pay 'n Save). He was discharged for accepting a credit card purchase
which exceeded the "floor limit" without obtaining management approval. The DOL denied Smith unemployment benefits on the
ground that he had been fired due to "misconduct" within the meaning of AS 23.20.379. 1 Smith filed for further administrative
and judicial review, which resulted in additional adverse determinations. He now appeals the superior court's determination
that the DOL's decision was supported by substantial evidence on the grounds that his action did not constitute "misconduct,"
that he was denied due process in the administrative adjudication of his claim, and that the DOL improperly allowed certain
evidence against him to be introduced. We affirm the decision of the superior court. I.
