In re the Claim of Hyman
Opinion of the Court
Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board- which denied claimant benefits on the ground that he provoked his discharge thereby voluntarily leaving his employment without good cause (Labor Law, § 593, subd. 1). Claimant’s hours of employment were from 9:0Ü a.m. to 5:30 p.m. He was responsible for opening his employer’s office and was discharged for reporting late to work. What constitutes “ good cause ” is a question of fact (Matter of Sperling [Catherwood], 20 A D 2d 584, mot. for lv. to app. den. 14 N Y 2d 481; Matter of Gilmore [Catherwood], 25 A D 2d 462) and the resolution of the factual issues is within the power of the board where, as here, it is supported by substantial evidence (Matter of Weinberger [Catherwood], 22 A D 2d 995).
