(i) the rule was a valid or reasonable rule or standard
(ii) the employee was aware, or could reasonably be expected to have been aware, of the rule or standard
(iii) the rule or standard has been consistently applied by the employer; and
(iv) dismissal is an appropriate sanction for the contravention of the rule or standard.
