| For their dishonesty, the penalty of dismissal is justified pursuant to Section 2.6 (i) of the Prudentialife Personnel Manual which prescribes the penalty of dismissal for acts of padding receipts for reimbursement or liquidation of advances or expenses. Dishonesty is a serious offense, and "no employer will take to its bosom a dishonest employee."[38] Dishonesty implies a "[d]isposition to lie, cheat, deceive, or defraud; untrustworthiness; lack of integrity[; l]ack of honesty, probity or integrity in principle; lack of fairness and straightforwardness; disposition to defraud, deceive or betray."[39] Acts of dishonesty have been held to be sufficient grounds for dismissal as a measure of self-protection on the part of the employer.[40] | |||||
