Description
This appeal is from a decision of the Industrial Accident Board which affirmed a decision of the chief appeals examiner for
the Department of Employment, denying appellants' claims for unemployment benefits under Idaho Employment Security Law. The
only question involved is whether appellants are ineligible for benefits because their unemployment is due to the fact that
they were "discharged for misconduct in connection with [their] employment" under I.C. § 72-1366(f). Sarah Ann Alder, DeLaine Archibald, Mary A. Barnes, Donna P. Bowen, Louaine Hadfield, Edna H. Harris, and Myrl Willie, appellants,
were employed by Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company (hereafter referred to as Mountain States) as telephone operators
at the Malad Exchange in Malad, Idaho. At the time the events in this case occurred, the Malad Exchange was not yet automated.
It was therefore the duty of these operators manually to place local and long distance telephone calls for the subscribers
of Mountain States. The issue in this case concerns only the placing of long distance calls. The procedure normally followed
by an operator in placing long distance calls was to record certain information about the call on a ticket: the name and number
of the person placing the call, the location and number of the party called, and the times at which the call began and ended.
The ticket containing this information was required for every long distance call so that the proper person could be billed
according to the distance and duration of the call, and the ticket would be sent to the accounting department of Mountain
States for that purpose.
