1. “The Board of Review affirmed the decision of the Appeals Tribunal which held that: [T]he claimant was discharged from his last employment for misconduct in connection therewith. He was absent from work under circumstances which strongly suggest that he was intoxicated. This was not a situation that was beyond his reasonable control and it must be held that his absences were conduct against the best interest and welfare of the employer. Mr. Weaver’s actions caused him to be absent from work when he was needed and expected by the employer. His recurring, unexcused absences without advance notice hampered the operation of the employer’s business. “[A]n employer generally has neither an affirmative duty ... nor is required to tolerate a mode of conduct which has the effect of reducing the efficiency of the employer’s operation ...” Coker v. Daniels, 267 Ark. 1000 , 593 S.W.2d 59 (Ark.App.1980). The employer had a right to expect the employee to report to work on time on his scheduled work days. His repeated disregard for the employer’s interests justified his discharge. Id. 613 S.W.2d at p. 110 .”
