Description

This appeal comes to us from a judgment involuntarily dismissing a suit for wrongful termination of employment. The employee, J.P. Staggie, was discharged for falsification of records. He contends that his activities had been authorized by a supervisor and that the discharge was motivated by bad faith. We affirm the judgment. Staggie was employed as a maintenance engineer by Idaho Falls Consolidated Hospitals, Inc. His training and supervision were furnished by a separate entity, Servicemaster Industries, Inc., under contract with the hospital. When Staggie reported for work on December 16, 1983, he was asked whether he planned to attend a Christmas party for maintenance employees later that day. Staggie replied that his shift hours would not allow him to do so. Another employee offered to swap time. Staggie asked his supervisor whether this would be okay. The supervisor responded to the effect, Well, I don't know what you are doing, or I don't know nothing about it. Staggie interpreted this to mean that the time swapping was approved and he left work early. However, he wrote in his time records that he had worked a full shift.
