In re the Claim of Rawlins
Opinion of the Court
The record clearly establishes that although claimant was told she was required by the Department of Transportation and her employer to take a 20-hour training course in order to keep her job as a school bus driver, she failed to attend either session the course was offered. In addition, claimant never indicated to her employer that she would ever take the required course. Under the circumstances, the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board’s decision disqualifying claimant from receiving benefits due to her misconduct was supported by substantial evidence (see, Matter of Attie [Skott Edwards Consultants—Roberts], 134 AD2d 751, 752).
Decision affirmed, without costs.
