In the Matter of the Claim of THERESA J. TORDSEN, Appellant. COMMISSIONER OF LABOR, Respondent.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Claimant was discharged from her employment as a social worker for a dialysis center after she left work early without authorization. Substantial evidence supports the decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board that claimant engaged in disqualifying misconduct. It is well established that a claimant's unauthorized absences from work may constitute disqualifying misconduct (see, Matter of Williams [Commissioner of Labor], 274 A.D.2d 805; Matter of Patrick [La Salle School — Commissioner of Labor], 251 A.D.2d 944). Claimant's differing version of the events surrounding her termination presented a credibility issue which the Board resolved against her (see, Matter of Conforti [Commissioner of Labor], 268 A.D.2d 663; Matter of Patrick [La Salle School — Commissioner of Labor], supra).

Mercure, J.P., Crew III, Peters, Spain and Lahtinen, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
