PER CURIAM

     AND NOW, this 8th day of December, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal

is GRANTED. 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?
