Price v. Vendtech-SGI, LLC
Citations: 508 S.W.3d 188; 2017 Mo. App. LEXIS 42; 2017 WL 326042Docket: WD 79257
Court: Missouri Court of Appeals; January 23, 2017; Missouri; State Appellate Court
Kevin Price, formerly employed as a security guard by Vendtech-SGI, LLC, was discharged in July 2015 after failing a firearms recertification test. Subsequently, he applied for unemployment compensation benefits. The Labor and Industrial Relations Commission ruled that Price's failure to pass the test, coupled with his refusal to undergo additional firearms training offered by Vendtech, constituted misconduct related to his work, rendering him ineligible for benefits. Price appealed this decision, contending that the Commission's conclusion regarding his refusal of training lacked competent and substantial evidence. The appeal was affirmed, and the court noted that a published opinion would not provide precedential value; therefore, an unpublished memorandum detailing the reasons for the order was issued to the parties in accordance with Rule 84.16(b).
