An Ontario arbitrator has upheld the firing of a worker following time and property theft which the worker tried to downplay.
The worker was a custodian with the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board north of Toronto, hired in 2006. In addition to his job, he ran a landscaping business.
On April 20, 2021, the worker approached a technician performing maintenance and repair on the board’s landscaping and snow removal equipment. He had a weed trimmer and asked the technician to take a look at it.
