Matter of Kucich

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
May 26, 1994
204 A.D.2d 929 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

May 26, 1994

Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.


Substantial evidence exists in the record to support the decision that claimant voluntarily left his employment as a district sales manager without good cause. On his claim for benefits claimant specifically stated that, with the consent of his employer, he was leaving his employment to continue his education. Leaving work to attend school does not constitute good cause under the Labor Law. Claimant's subsequent conflicting testimony regarding the reason for his separation from employment merely presented a credibility question for the Board to resolve.

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