Ariz. Admin. Code § R6-3-51385 - Relation of Offense to Discharge (misconduct 385)
A. Before a disqualification for a discharge
for misconduct may be applied, the worker must have committed an act(s) of
misconduct connected with his work and he must have been discharged for such
act(s).
B. Generally, only the
employer can state authoritatively the reasons for the worker's dismissal. If
the discharge does not follow the commission of misconduct in a prompt and
reasonable sequence of events, the burden falls on the employer to establish
the causal relationship. When an unreasonable length of time has elapsed
between the commission of the act and the discharge, the employer has in effect
condoned the act, and the subsequent discharge is not for work-connected
misconduct.
