District Court of Appeal of Florida
Franks v. Unemployment Appeals Comm'n, 2D06-114
An order affirming a decision of an appeals referee that disqualified her from receiving benefits is reversed where claimant's actions resulting in her discharge -- taking school coursework which interfered with her work schedule -- did not rise to the level of misconduct as defined in Florida Statutes section 443.036(29) since the employer never disapproved of her irregular work schedule but instead simply fired her.
