Biczak Unemployment Compensation Case
Biczak Unemployment Compensation Case
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
The claimant voluntarily left her employment and consequently is not entitled to compensation unless she left for “cause of a necessitous and compelling nature”:
Upon appeal to the board the case was remanded to the referee for a further hearing. At the remand hearing the claimant testified that she left her employment because there were delinquent girls at the home and this made her very nérvous and she couldn’t work. Faced with her conflicting statements as to her reason for leaving work, the board found that she left because of dissatisfaction with her wages and denied compensation. Since the board’s finding is supported by competent evidence, it is conclusive upon the court. Progress Manufacturing Co., Inc. v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 406 Pa. 163, 176 A. 2d 632 (1962).
Decision affirmed.
