Opinion
June 20, 1991
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
Criticism of an employee's work by a supervisor does not constitute good cause for leaving one's employment (Matter of Hogan [Schenectady Discount Corp. — Levine], 50 A.D.2d 650). What constitutes good cause is a question of fact for the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board to resolve (Matter of Steed [Roberts], 115 A.D.2d 166). In this case, the Board found that claimant quit because she was upset about a warning critical of her performance in organizing and cleaning her work area and that the warning did not justify her leaving her job. These findings, along with the Board's conclusion that claimant voluntarily left her employment without good cause, are supported by substantial evidence in the record and must be upheld (see, Matter of Labissiere [Levine], 51 A.D.2d 1078; Matter of La Greca [Catherwood], 30 A.D.2d 597).
Mikoll, J.P., Yesawich Jr., Mercure, Crew III and Harvey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
