Opinion
October 10, 1996.
Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed April 12, 1995, which ruled that claimant was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because he voluntarily left his employment without good cause.
Before: Cardona, J.P., Mikoll, Mercure, Spain and Carpinello, JJ.
Claimant left his job as a line cook after his employer changed his hours and compensation. The Board disqualified claimant from receiving unemployment insurance benefits on the basis that he voluntarily left his employment without good cause. Based upon our review of the record, we find that the Board's decision is supported by substantial evidence. Evidence was adduced at the hearing that claimant was unable to work the hours required as a salaried employee because he was taking college courses. As a result, the employer decided to reduce claimant's hours and pay him on an hourly basis. Claimant viewed this as a pay cut and quit his job. In view of the foregoing, we decline to disturb the Board's decision.
Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
