Opinion
September 19, 1991
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
Claimant, who was employed part-time as a receiving clerk, left his employment of 2 1/2 years when his work schedule was reduced because there was not enough work available at the time. Claimant admitted that, at the time he was hired, he knew that his hours would fluctuate. In addition, claimant could have stayed employed and supplemented his earnings with partial unemployment insurance benefits. Consequently, the decision to disqualify claimant from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because he voluntarily left his employment without good cause is supported by substantial evidence and must be upheld (see, Matter of White [Levine], 52 A.D.2d 1003; see also, Matter of Consentino [Ross], 71 A.D.2d 1042).
Weiss, J.P., Mikoll, Yesawich Jr., Levine and Crew III, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
