On November 30, 2105 it came to the attention of our General Manager that you made private use of the company car and took the car home without having any permission to do so. When you were heard regarding this incident you claimed that you were aware that this was against company policy and claimed to have only taken the car one day. In a conversation with the Human Resource and the General Manager, the following day you admitted to having been seen taking the car for three days without any authorization to do so. Further investigation showed that you were not honest about the private use of the company car since the administrative assistant whom you requested to log the keys for you stated that this had been going on for approximately one week.In your position of Chief Engineer you are in charge of the department and have access to company property and are expected to only access and use company property for business purposes. You are aware of company policy that under no circumstance employees are allowed or authorized to take the company car home.

4.DE BEOORDELING
I think you misunderstood. They can’t take the company car home.Niet onbegrijpelijk is dat [eiser] zichzelf niet onder “they” schaarde. Dat [eiser] welbewust heeft verzwegen dat hij de bedrijfsauto gebruikte is in kort geding onvoldoende aannemelijk geworden. Diens gebruik van de bedrijfsauto stond immers in het logboek aangetekend. Dat [eiser] die aantekening niet zelf maakte maar een ondergeschikte daartoe opdracht gaf vormt geen bijkomende rechtvaardiging voor het ontslag op staande voet. Niet aannemelijk is dat [eiser] het logboek pas achteraf heeft doen bijwerken.
