The Court finds the termination lawful and fair, dismissing the claim.
Facts

Issues

- Fairness of termination
- Payment of terminal benefits
Reasoning
The Court found no evidence of the claimant learning about the embezzlement before December 11, 2012. Despite admitting to signing a reconciliation form with an incorrect amount, the Court concluded that the claimant's conduct undermined mutual trust and integrity, justifying the termination.
Outcome
Claim dismissed
