Matter of Orlik

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department

257 A.D.2d 837 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

January 14, 1999.

Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.


Claimant was hired as an on-call phlebotomist required to work flexible shifts. During the course of her employment, claimant worked a varied schedule; including the 11:30 P.M. to 7:30 A.M. shift. After claimant was scheduled to work this shift from October 5, 1997 to October 9, 1997; she called the employer and stated that she could not work this schedule because it made her too tired and she could not properly handle her other jobs. Substantial evidence supports the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board's ruling disqualifying claimant from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because she left her employment without good cause. It is well settled that once the terms of employment have been agreed upon, such terms cannot thereafter be invoked as valid grounds for quitting ( see, Matter of Cinque [Sweeney], 224 A.D.2d 912). Moreover, "dissatisfaction with the * * * hours assigned by one's employer does not constitute good cause for resigning" ( Matter of Cudnik [Sweeney], 235 A.D.2d 888). Finally, although claimant asserts that lack of sleep interfered with her health, there is no evidence that she received medical advice to leave her employment ( see, Matter of Robinson [Sweeney], 245 A.D.2d 939, 940).

Cardona, P. J., Mercure, Crew III, Carpinello and Graffeo, JJ., concur.

Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
