Opinion
December 23, 1993
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
The record contains substantial evidence to support the Board's determination that claimant was discharged for misconduct because of lateness and absenteeism. Continued lateness after adequate warnings constitutes misconduct which bars a claimant from the receipt of unemployment insurance benefits. Significantly, the Board was free to disbelieve claimant's explanations or excuses for his conduct in this respect.
Mikoll, J.P., Yesawich Jr., Crew III, White and Mahoney, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
