In this section, “gross misconduct”: means conduct of an employee that: indicates a deliberate and willful disregard of standards of behavior that an employing unit rightfully expects and that shows gross indifference to the interests of the employing unit; or consists of repeated violations of employment rules that prove a regular and wanton disregard of the employee’s obligations; and does not include: aggravated misconduct, as defined under § 8–1002.1 of this subtitle; or other misconduct, as defined under § 8–1003 of this subtitle. An individual who otherwise is eligible to receive benefits is disqualified from receiving benefits if unemployment results from discharge or suspension as a disciplinary measure for behavior that the Secretary finds is gross misconduct in connection with employment. A disqualification under this section shall: begin with the first week for which unemployment is caused by discharge or suspension for gross misconduct as determined under this section; and continue until the individual is reemployed and has earned wages in covered employment that equal at least 25 times the weekly benefit amount of the individual.
