What is the unemployment insurance definition of misconduct?
Generally, misconduct is a deliberate action (or a series of actions) by the employee that violates a known rule or company policy of the employer. Incidents of poor judgment, an accident, or a simple mistake are generally not seen as misconduct. Each state has its own definition of misconduct that has been created through case law or legislative action.
