In the Matter of the Claim of ANNA STANCZYK, Appellant. COMMISSIONER OF LABOR, Respondent.

We affirm. Whether a claimant has lost employment through disqualifying misconduct is a determination to be made by the Board, and its decision will not be disturbed when supported by substantial evidence ( see Matter of Park [Stanford New York, LLC — Commissioner of Labor], 70 AD3d 1097, 1097-1098; Matter of Carter [New York City Dept. of City wide Admin. Servs. — Commissioner of Labor], 65 AD3d 1441, 1441). Here, claimant was involved in a workplace altercation with a coworker, after which she was suspended for a day and directed to attend an employee assistance training program. Despite receiving notification that her employment could be terminated for failing to attend, claimant did not attend the training. Given that failing to follow an employer's reasonable directives has been held to be disqualifying misconduct, the Board's decision was supported by substantial evidence ( see Matter of Atson [Commissioner of Labor], 64 AD3d 1065, 1065; Matter of Peterson [Commissioner of Labor], 32 AD3d 610, 610; Matter of Quilty [Commissioner of Labor], 268 AD2d 666, 666-667).

Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
