Henry TANAV, Appellant, v. DHL and The Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission, Appellees.
    No. 94-1101.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    July 12, 1994.
    Henry Tanav, in pro. per.
    John D. Maher, Tallahassee, for appellees.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and NESBITT and GERSTEN, JJ.
   SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge.

The appeals referee disqualified the appellant from unemployment compensation benefits on the ground that, while he had twice given notice to a supervisor of his impending week-long absence from work, he had not done so to the proper superior as provided by the employer’s work rules. The Unemployment Appeals Commission affirmed. As a matter of law, however, these actions do not amount to “misconduct” under section 443.036(26), Florida Statutes (1993). Doyle v. Florida Unemployment Appeals Comm’n, 635 So.2d 1028 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994); King v. Walgreen Co., 635 So.2d 997 (Fla. 3d DCA 1994); Castillo v.

Comm’n, 154 So.2d 334 (Fla. 3d DCA 1963). Accordingly, the order is reversed with directions to afford the appellant the benefits claimed.
