Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed February 26, 1997, which ruled that claimant was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because she voluntarily left her employment without good cause.
Claimant resigned from her employment as a bookkeeper and office manager after her employer criticized her for two job-related oversights. Substantial evidence supports the ruling of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board that claimant left her employment for personal, noncompelling reasons. Criticism of an employee’s performance by his or her supervisor does not constitute good cause for leaving one’s employment (see, Matter of Feng Yen Yang [Sweeney], 233 AD2d 656; Matter of Lucas [Dominican Sisters—Sweeney], 213 AD2d 960). The conflict between claimant’s assertion that she was fired and that of her employer asserting that claimant voluntarily resigned presented an issue of credibility for resolution by the Board (see, Matter of Bradley [Hudacs], 190 AD2d 949, 950).
