8 Pa. Commw. 455 | Pa. Commw. Ct. | 1973
Opinion by
Unemployment compensation claimant, Brenda Rosenhoover, an employee of Sylvania Electric Products, Inc., for seven years, became ill at work on March 12, 1970 and reported off work the next day, March 13th, and again on March 16, 1970. Claimant thereafter continued to be absent from work on account of her illness and on March 24, 1970 her name was removed from the company’s payroll. Mrs. Rosenhoover was denied benefits by the Referee and, on appeal, by the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, on the ground that her conduct in failing to report off after being absent for three consecutive days was a violation of the company’s rules and constituted “willful misconduct” in connection with her work within the meaning of Section 402(e) of the Unemployment Compensation Law, Act of December 5, 1936, Second Exec. Sens., P. L. 2897, as amended, 43 P.S. §802(e). We disagree.
Order
Now this 26th day of April, 1973, the Order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review is reversed and the record is remanded to the Board for disposition consistent with this opinion.
