Shumway v. Idol

Summary

The Idaho Supreme Court reversed the Industrial Commission and held that Shumway was ineligible for unemployment benefits because her repeated refusal to meet with a supervisor constituted employment-related misconduct. The employer’s expectation that Shumway meet with the supervisor was clearly communicated and objectively reasonable, and the Commission misapplied the standards-of-behavior test and made factual findings unsupported by substantial and competent evidence.
