Pozeynot v. Commonwealth
Pozeynot v. Commonwealth
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
In this unemployment compensation appeal, Helen Pozeynot (claimant) contests the Board’s findings that she voluntarily terminated her employment with Allen Pontiac, Inc., without cause of a necessitous and compelling nature, pursuant to Section 402(b)(1) of the Unemployment Compensation Law, Act of December 5, 1936, Second Ex. Sess., P.L. (1937) 2897, as amended, 43 P.S. §802(b) (1). Claimant contends that she was fired for asking to go home early on a snowy day and that the Board erred in accepting the testimony of the employer’s representatives .that she quit after she was told she would have to make up the time if she left early. We have repeatedly held, however, that the Board, as the ultimate factfinder, resolves conflicts in the testimony, decides issues of credibility, and determines the weight to be given to the evidence. See, e.g., Unemployment Compensation Board of Review v. Wright, 21 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 637, 347
Accordingly, we enter the following
Order
And Now, this 27th day of June, 1980, the order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, dated May 3, 1978, denying unemployment compensation benefits to Helen Pozeynot, is hereby affirmed.
