Matter of Felton

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Feb 10, 1994
201 A.D.2d 821 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

February 10, 1994

Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.


The record contains substantial evidence to support the determination of the Board, based on the findings of the arbitrator, that claimant was discharged for misconduct from his position as a mail processor for the United States Postal Service. The record demonstrates that, despite warnings from his supervisor, claimant charged unauthorized overtime. It is well settled that refusal to follow an employer's reasonable instructions constitutes misconduct sufficient to disqualify a claimant from receiving unemployment insurance benefits.

Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Crew III, White and Weiss, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
