The issues are: (1) Does the Commonwealth Court’s opinion conflict with this Court’s precedent in Bortz v. WCAB,[683 A.2d 259 (Pa. 1996),] which recognized the distinct conduct standards in workers’ compensation and unemployment compensation adjudications? (2) Does the Commonwealth Court’s opinion conflict with this Court’s precedent in Harkness v. U[nemployment Comp. Bd. of Review 920 A.2d 162 (Pa. 2007),] which emphasized the prompt and informal nature of unemployment compensation proceedings and, therefore, presents a question of such substantial public importance as to require this Court’s definitive resolution?
