which the employer expects of his or her employee.

intent, or a knowing disregard of the employer’s interest or of the employee’s
duties and obligations to the employer.
- A violation of an employer’s no-call, no show policy;
chronic absenteeism or tardiness in violation of a known policy of the
employer; or two or more unapproved absences following a written reprimand or
warning relating to an unapproved absence unless such absences are protected by
law.
- A knowing violation of a state standard or regulation
by an employee of an employer licensed or certified by the state, which would
cause the employer to be sanctioned or have its license or certification

- A violation of an employer’s rule unless the employee
can demonstrate that:
- He or she did not know, and could not reasonably know,
of the rule’s requirements;
