Matter of Lesakowski

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department

212 A.D.2d 917 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

February 16, 1995

Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.


At the outset, we conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion by reopening this case following the employer's initial default. Moreover, upon review of the record, we find substantial evidence to support the Board's determination that claimant left her position in the employer's payroll department without good cause. The Board rationally found that claimant quit her job in dissatisfaction upon the employer's announcement that it intended to change her job title and some of her duties. Since claimant's salary and job duties were not substantially affected by these changes, we find no reason to disturb the Board's finding that claimant left her job for personal and noncompelling reasons.

Mikoll, J.P., Mercure, Crew III, White and Peters, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
