Opinion
December 5, 1991
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
Claimant lost his job of six years due to excessive tardiness. Prior to claimant's discharge, his employer followed company policy with respect to warning him and ultimately docking his pay because of his tardiness. Although claimant admitted that he knew that his job was in jeopardy, he made no attempt to change his daily routine to avoid being late. Under the circumstances, there is substantial evidence to support the decision disqualifying claimant from receiving unemployment insurance benefits due to misconduct (see, Matter of Grosso [Levine], 52 A.D.2d 964; Matter of De Scetto [Levine], 51 A.D.2d 1100).
Mahoney, P.J., Mikoll, Yesawich Jr., Mercure and Harvey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
