Matter of Titus

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

220 A.D.2d 919 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

October 19, 1995

Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.


Claimant was terminated from his employment as the manager of a check cashing company for violating company rules regarding check cashing procedures. In particular, claimant approved the cashing of a check in excess of $1,000 without obtaining his supervisor's authorization and without contacting the maker of the check. Because the check had been stolen, claimant's employer suffered a financial loss. Although claimant testified that he did not approve the cashing of the check, there was contrary testimony that it was claimant who gave the approval. Inasmuch as it was the Board's function to evaluate this conflicting testimony, we find that substantial evidence supports the Board's decision.

Mikoll, J.P., Mercure, White, Yesawich Jr. and Spain, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
