Bennett
v. UCBR – Cmwlth. Court – March 4, 2015 – memorandum opinion – not reported
Private
agreement between employer and claimant to change job termination to 12-day
suspension is not an admission of the conduct that resulted in the suspension. It is merely a settlement between the parties. Without the agreement being admitted into
evidence and without testimony regarding the content of the agreement, the UCBR
cannot assume that claimant admitted violating the employer’s rules. There
was no testimony or other evidence in the record to support a finding that the
agreement constituted an admission of employer rules.
