Questão jurídica principal
Whether the 33-day suspension for self-inflicted unemployment was lawful
Decisão extraída
Yes. The insured person’s repeated refusal over more than a week to comply with the employer’s repeated requests to call back, in the context of a very recent hire and probation, constituted culpable conduct causing dismissal.
Fundamentação extraída
The court found no relevant breach regarding illness reporting or medical certificate timing, but held that ignoring multiple explicit phone-contact requests showed disregard of workplace instructions, seriously undermined trust, was causally linked to the termination, and was accepted at least with eventual intent.
