Unemployment Compensation — Willful misconduct — Excessive tardiness — Warning — Unemployment Compensation Law.

Excessive tardiness, especially after warning, constitutes willful misconduct within the meaning of § 402(e) of the Unemployment Compensation Law.

Argued June 12, 1962.

OPINION BY MONTGOMERY, J., September 13, 1962:

The record adequately supports the findings of the board that claimant habitually reported late for work; and after being warned by her employer, persisted in her tardiness and was discharged for this reason. This constituted willful misconduct justifying a denial of benefits under section 402(e) of the Unemployment Compensation Law. Backer Unemployment Compensation Case, 198 Pa. Super. 184, 181 A.2d 869 (1962).

Decision affirmed.
