SHIRLEY M PITT, Employee
FAMILY DOLLAR STORES OF WISCONSIN INC NO 882, Employer
An administrative law judge (ALJ) for the Division of Unemployment Insurance of the Department of Workforce Development issued a decision in this matter. A timely petition for review was filed.
The commission has considered the petition and the positions of the parties, and it has reviewed the evidence submitted to the ALJ. Based on its review, the commission agrees with the decision of the ALJ, and it adopts the findings and conclusion in that decision as its own.
The decision of the administrative law judge is affirmed. Accordingly, the employee is ineligible for benefits beginning in week 47 of 2003, and until seven weeks have elapsed since the end of the week of discharge and the employee has earned wages in covered employment performed after the week of discharge equaling at least 14 times the employee's weekly benefit rate which would have been paid had the discharge not occurred.

The employee admitted at the hearing that she knew taking money from the petty
cash fund was improper. She also admitted completing fraudulent reports to
conceal both her, the manager's and the assistant manager's improper use of that
money. She intentionally disregarded the employer's policy as it related to petty
cash, placing her own interests before the employer's. For these reasons, the
commission affirms the appeal tribunal decision that her discharge was for
misconduct.
