IN THE MATTER OF THE CLAIM OF LUBERTA WILLIAMS, Appellant. COMMISSIONER OF LABOR, Respondent.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Claimant, a claims adjuster for the employer, was terminated for leaving work early without authorization in violation of the employer's attendance policy. In our view, substantial evidence supports the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board's ruling that claimant was disqualified from receiving benefits due to her misconduct (see, Matter of Sadowski [Star Corrugated Box Co. — Commissioner of Labor], 268 A.D.2d 752). It is well established that unauthorized absences from one's employment after having received repeated warnings, as did claimant here, may constitute disqualifying misconduct (see, id.; Matter of Conforti [Commissioner of Labor], 268 A.D.2d 663). Additionally, the record supports the ruling that claimant was properly charged with a recoverable overpayment of benefits (see, Matter of Estevez [Connoisseur Finishers — Commissioner of Labor], 272 A.D.2d 732, 708 N.Y.S.2d 503). Claimant's remaining contentions have been examined and found to be lacking in merit.

ORDERED that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
