Matter of Welle

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

239 A.D.2d 640 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

May 1, 1997

Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.


Claimant resigned from her job as the executive director of a council on alcoholism due to her perception that the council was neither adhering to its bylaws nor providing her with the requisite supervision and support she needed, thereby increasing her job responsibilities. Although claimant complained on numerous occasions about the structure of the council, she never notified her employer that she would resign if the situation was not corrected. Claimant's employer kept her position open after she resigned but she refused to return to work. Claimant's general dissatisfaction with various aspects of her employment constitutes a personal and noncompelling reason for her resignation ( see, Matter of Paccione [Sweeney], 213 A.D.2d 931). We find that substantial evidence supports the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board's finding that claimant voluntarily left her employment without good cause ( see, id.; Matter of Mattia [Town of Parma — Hudacs], 192 A.D.2d 1047) and, accordingly, we decline to disturb it.

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