Opinion
May 15, 1997
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
Claimant, a manager-trainee for a retail gas and convenience store chain, claimed that his job duties, including the travel and hours, did not conform to his job title and, without expressing any dissatisfaction to his employer, resigned. The employer offered claimant a reasonable explanation for why he was required to work various jobs at different locations and times but claimant refused to accept this explanation. Claimant was subsequently disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits and was assessed a recoverable overpayment of $3,600. Substantial evidence supports the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board's decision finding that he voluntarily left his employment without good cause. It is well settled that dissatisfaction with one's job does not constitute good cause for leaving employment (see, Matter of Melito [KZ Personnel — Sweeney], 236 A.D.2d 773; Matter of Aronson [Hudacs], 194 A.D.2d 1046). Additionally, any benefits claimant received were properly recoverable (see, Labor Law § 597; see generally, Matter of Schell [Hudacs], 192 A.D.2d 1007). Claimant's remaining contentions have been reviewed and found to be without merit.
Cardona, P.J., Mercure, White, Casey and Carpinello, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
