 STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood that:

 (1) The dismissal of Crane Operator R. C. Jones for alleged 'falsification of your timesheet' (f 1984), was without just and sufficient cause and on the basis of unproven charges (System File C II11-85/D-2671).

 FINDINGS:
The Third Division of the Adjustment Board upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds that:

 The carrier or carriers and the employe or employes involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved June 21, 1934.

 This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.

The record of this case clearly establishes that the Claimant: (a) falsified his time sheet by knowingly claiming pay for time not worked on August 10, 1984, (b) claimed mileage for the pay period of August 8 through 15, 1984, in excess of what he knew or should have known to be properly reimbursed, and (c) claimed authorized by proper authority.

 There is no reasonable basis for the Claimant to be confused regarding proper reimbursement. He of time slips, moreover, he admitted to leaving work early without authority.
