 his absence from duty. Thereat it was disclosed that after ten days from the date of his absence starting February 9 he was sent a medical release form to fill out and return. He made no attempt to furnish the form until March 20, 1984, even though having been contacted several times prior to that date to do so. When he returned the report, it was incomplete and not accepted.

 On May 9 the Claimant presented a completed form and therein it was reported that he had been released for return to duty on February 12, 1984. The incomplete report handed in on March 20 did not bear the information that the Claimant had been released to return to work on February 12, 1984.

 The Investigation also disclosed that he was employed by another business establishment during the months of April and May.

 As the Investigation was drawing to a close, his past record was reviewed in his presence.

 On June 11, 1984 the Claimant was notified that he was dismissed account guilty of desertion in that he remained absent from his assignment and worked for another Employer. In the same Notice he was advised that his record of previous handling and discipline had been ineffective in bringing about an improvement in his attendance at work.

 The Board finds that the Claimant received a fair and impartial Investigation; that he was not unjustly treated; that he was properly found at fault and that the discipline was not too severe when all of the circumstances disclosed by the record are fully considered, including his past record of absenteeism. The Carrier's dismissal of the Claimant will not be reversed.
