Appeal Board affirms Judge's decision that claimant's termination does not constitute provoked discharge and voluntary separation without cause after the Commissioner of Labor appealed.

Appeal Board finds that given that the criminal convictions date from more than five years prior to claimant began working at the employment at issue in the healthcare field he could not have been aware of their effect under Department of Health employment regulations. Thus claimant's termination does not constitute provoked discharge and voluntary separation without cause.
