In re the Claim of Gallagher
Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed March 8, 1999, which, inter alia, ruled that claimant was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because he voluntarily left his employment without good cause.
Claimant was employed by a temporary services agency until he resigned from his last assignment. At the time of his assignment, claimant was informed by the employer that the job had an indefinite duration but could lead to a permanent position. However, soon after the job commenced, claimant contacted the employer’s representative and advised her that he was dissatisfied with the assignment and did not get along with his supervisor. An alternative assignment was not available and the employer’s representative testified that claimant agreed to continue with the assignment while efforts were being made to find him a new position. Nevertheless, claimant thereafter quit his job while continuing work was available.
Under the circumstances, we find that substantial evidence supports the decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board that claimant left his employment for personal and non-compelling reasons, thus disqualifying him from receipt of unemployment insurance benefits. It is well settled that dissatisfaction with one’s work or an inability to get along with a supervisor does not generally constitute good cause to leave employment (see, Matter of Saglimbeni [Commissioner of Labor],
