You can file but it doesn't guarantee you will get approved. You must state your case telling what happened and your employer has to also show good cause as to why they fired you.

Most companies will deny the claim but you can appeal if they do and still win. You have to justify your claim.

Hard to say without providing more information...assuming you didn't do something wrongful to get terminated you should have a chance.

normally people don't receive unemployment if they got fired. if it was a wrongful termination then you might be able to clear your name and collect unemployment.
if not start searching the job listings! -

You can be denied for reasons like stealing etc, but just because you are fire doesn't mean you are automatically ineligible to collect.
Apply and if you get denied appeal.
Good luck

I live in R.I. but I'm required by my employer to travel to Mass. to work. This is anywhere from
88 miles to 119 mile round trip daily. R.I. employment law requires me to travel 70 miles round
trip to seek employment. My position is base salary plus commission with the present economic
situation the sales are not there to justify this travel. It's also causing a lot of wear and tare on
my vehicles which I won't be able to replace because of my employment situation. I've tried to
make this work for the last 3 1/2 years its become more of a burden then a position. If I leave this position of my own accord or I'm terminated can I collect? -

I got fired today because I thought the job of climbing on top of a tank after I had already sprayed with soap and water was too unsafe. After I got down from the ladder to let my boss go up and do it, he was cursing me and said I could go to the house that I was fired. The boss calls later after firing me saying it was insubordination, but this kind of hostility has been going on since the day I started. Do I have a chance at unemployment or do I need to take it a step further and get osha involved for unsafe practices?

To point out you have to have 13 points so can they fire me for getting another 3 day suspension.

I worked for the dept of corrections. I have a good friend thats incarcerated. we wrote each other all the time, like pen pals. My friend needed some support, thats all. I was terminated because I didnt get permission from my job to write my friend. My father, mother and alot of family members were incarcerated before. I have gotten letters from them and have written back. I didnt think writing someone was so bad. I wouldnt dare visit. I applied for unemployment and was denied. I appealed the decision. Waiting for a hearing date in the mail. Do I have a chance at winning? I just need a way to support my two children until I find another job.

Due to economic situation me and my husbant lost our house since my husbant was laid off last May. We had to relocate due to high cost of living to another city which is more affordable to live. I have to commute 190 miles round trip to get to my work. I have been doing this for almost a year. I have been looking for a job locally but no success so far. If I leave my job on my own due to long drive and wear and tare on my car and on my body, will I be qualify to collect unemployment until I find a job in my area or not?

I was fired from missing my training day. I came in on last day of orientation when I was given days of training (which was a shift that I was not offered). I was offered third shift and took it thinking my training would be on third. My car broke down on me so I made other arrangements to get back and forth to work on third and told my training coordinator my situation and said I had reliabe transportation for the shift that was offered to me in the beginning. She said she would get back to me. The house lead person got back to me on the second day my training started and asked if I could come in on second, I stated that I could only work the shift offered to me in the beginning. She said she would get back with me, but instead her supervisor did and her supervisor's supervisor had me on speaker phone and i stated my situation to them both and they fired me anyways. Now I cannot get unemployment because they are saying I abandon my job.

Hello to all in the world of NO JOB .
I was FIRED for no reason and I know my job will fight my Claims, There was plenty of witnesses but everyone needs there job just as well as the next person, that when asked about the problem everyone was quite you could hear a pin drop, all because nobody wants to stand up for another person SEE how cruel the world really is, Everyone for themselfs.
My name is Apacheprincess480 I have moved from ohio to scottsdale az for persoal reasons 3years ago a got a job at a small time family owned rest, I got hired on the spot had great day shift hours and off on all major holidays the owners say they are all about FAMILY and being with them during the HOLIDAYS , So my Question is how in the HELL can they FIRE a person with no FAMILY no other help just a loney single female a survivor , and you go and FIRE me a week befor christmas. I gave them over 3 years of great service and the lady that they did not FIRE been there only 2 half months
The story goes I was treated by another co-worker she put both arms out wide so i may not pass by I try to go around her both sides and hen she chest bumps me and says" DO YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME? IF YOU DO WE CAN GO OUTSIDE AND HANDLE THIS OR I CAN WAIT FOR YOU IN THE PARKING LOT" I turn around and see the GManger coming up the alleyway and I say T_____ J_____ is treating me, and H_____ heard and seen it all , but H____ just stood there Like HUH? T___ phones the owners and in the mean time the LADY who treated me writes down on a piece of paper that she is quiting, she walks pass me and says I hope you happy I just quit. The owner comes in at 8;30am she walks in middle and points at me ans says give you tickets to ******** and follow me NOW, we go to the back of the rest/side by the kitchen wlkway mind you the whole rest can HEAR evey word she is saying to me, because she is screaming at the TOP of her LUNGS she wouldn't even let me tell my side of the story she just listened to the other LADY SIDE and told me to clock out and phone back at 3pm and they would let me know whats going on , I phone at 3pm and the Owner says we covered your shift Phone me at 10am Friday and I will tell you our decession I phoned and they didn't give me a clear reason for letting me go I beged for my job and told then I $51 dollars to name until I get another job, I have no Family Or friends to help don't fire give me a chance to resolve the issue at hand.
and as you see THEY FIRED ME.

I was selling cars for two years with 2 good companies but sales were down and I got on with a staffing company. the staffing company set me up with a job and as soon as my job was guaranteed at the new company i informed my sales manager and then started my new job...
after a week of being at the new job, my mother received a call that my grandfathers heart stopped several times and he was in a coma on life support.
the Doctors said to have the family get togather and say goodbye because he would not make it. so i flew out after being at my new job for a week.. my employer said it was ok and to call friday and let them know if when I would be back, but before i landed in the plane, I had a messege saying i was fired.
would this qualify my claim for benefits ??? -

I just quit my job. Was there for 1 1/2 year. Commuting time was 1 hr a day. My car broke down a few times and I spend basically all my money trying to fix it now I can't even buy another one, public transportation requires 3 hours on the bus and 1 hr walking, that is 4 hrs daily just commuting to work on a good day (weather don't really help here in Upstate NY) meaning I would have to leave the house even before my kids head to school and returning home close to 9pm. I just couldn't do it. My question is... Will I be able to collect unemployment? I am looking for work now closer to home to avoid this happening again.

I was fired after working for an insurance company for 4 months. I moved to be clsoer to the job. I am now without a job, no friends or family close. I was told it was determined that I had excessive absenteeism. All my absenses were excused, most due to falls on the ice. This company had hired a nurse who had previously worked in my position. There was a hiring freeze on so I was confused when she was hired. I was told by 2 people, 1 of them is our training educator and knows everything about the business. She told me 2 weeks ago to look for another job because the bosses liked this other person and would be letting me go. I only have her word against mine. What is the chance of getting unemployment, if I have any left?

I worked for a company who worked with mentally retarded individuals. I was accused of not doing my job on several occasions by my supervisor and the HR woman. I was suppose to wake them up to use the bathroom at night, and did. Even though I did this, 1 or 2 of them would be wet when they were woken up in the am. I was accused repeatedly of not doing this, and was written up then fired without any proof other than a co worker's opinion on the amount of urine present. I say that because the supervisors main point is that they think i could not have woken them up at all for how wet they are.
Would this disqualify me? I feel they are going to deny me just because they will say i wasn't doing my job even though i was. Why would anyone side with the little guy? -

I am working for an employer that is hostile. He has lost atleast 2 employees a year due to his behavior. I'm so afraid I'm going to be let go when he is having one of his outrages. I am in sales and if someone doesn't buy he blames me. He says I should sell to them no matter what. I say they can't afford and he flips out and said I should sell to them. Last summer my mouth and face and hand went numb and I went to call off work and he told me no that he had to deliver shirts for a fund raiser. A doctor told me I need to get another job, but there's none out there. If I am fire, can I draw unemployment. Buy the way he laughs and says nobody has ever drawn unemployment off him.

My boss didn't even offer to give me a probationary period like we did with others there. I asked if my boss would consider having me back and putting me on a probationary period and he said no. It is the norm for my boss to first discuss with the employee and advise them that this would be their last cahnce and offer a probationary period. can I get fired for this. i did not have a doctors excuse I couldn't afford to go to docors.

Even if you are fired, an especially for no valuable reason, even after a short you can file for unemployment, but since the employer does not want to pay, have to take legal action.
Sorry, but try it until to the last. Because of the unemployed people around, the Employer can do what he wants, and will do what he wants, and this has to be stopped.
To work on the mercy of an unable and incompetent Supervisor no one should loose his job, if so, the Supervisor has to be blamed, he is not able to train and inform his employee.

The leadership here has decided to farm out the Bank's marketing to outside firms. They don't want to fire me, so they've asked me to take a Branch Manager position (probably same pay). I not at all qualified for this position. I have not specific training as a Branch Manager or eduction (they usually have finance degrees). I have been eductated as a marketer and have over 12 years of experience marketing at different companys. MY QUESTION IS: If i refuse to take the Branch Manager position and they fire me, can I collect unemployment?

My assistant manager didn't know how to check in orders. my boss said to make sure I check them in. I said what if the assistant won't let me. Cause only management is allowed to do this. He said just let him know I said You should. The assistant Just had me do it with out even asking me. So he ran my register. The next day I'm told One of my drops missing. They said I was upset and told not to worry its there somewhere. So I work that day. Manager and I share register. The next day I'm off. Icome back to work the next day. They pull me in the office to tell me I'm short again. that makes three days. So I'm being investigated and am suspended. I've never been short before. They are also saying Im not doing my paper work right. so I'm not doing procedure. But ether is anyone else or the managers. They said that didn't matter only what I do matters. can they do that legally? state of nevada

I have been working for Discovery Clothing for the Past 3 weeks they let all the new employees know that after 4 weeks they can fire us if we didnt reach the standards for there company... I have a feeling I might be one of them. So for a total of one month working there can I qualify or even go to Unemployment ? Please help. I am a single 20 year old mother who has a hard enough time finding a baby sitter ... These Economic times are crazy !

I have been working for the same company for 4.5 years now. I have been an excellent employee always making sure my managers know I am willing to do any task they want to throw my way...The past year has been very rough on me with my health in fears I may have cancer. I have been to numerous doctors and have had to take a good amount of days off to see such specialists...I have now been on probation at work and have been working my best to have them accept the fact I have health issues in question. Even though I am on a probationary period until May, I still have vacation time and sick days to use. If I am fired are my chances of collecting unemployment good or bad? Id like to know because if they are bad I will need to find a new job a.s.a.p. due to bills and other expenses.

I'VE BEEN ON MY JOB FOR 5 1/2 YRS. MY BOSSES SON STARTED WORKING THERE ON MY 2ND YEAR. HE HAS BEEN DOING WHAT EVER HE WANTED TO DO.. AND WHEN ANY OF US GO TO MY BOSS, SHE ATTACKS THE PERSON INSTEAD OF GETTING HER SON IN CHECK. I TODAY WAS FIRED BECAUSE I KNEW TOO MUCH...WE OPEN 24-7 AND 365. BUT HER SON ON THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT WOULD LEAVE A RECORDING TO CALL BACK TOMORROW AND LEAVE HIS POST. EVEN THOUGH MANY PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING SHE DID NOTHING..SO WHEN SHE TERMINATED ME I ASKED HER WHY. SHE TOLD ME I KNEW WHY. I WAS A MODEL EMPLOYEE RARELY LATE AND GET ALONG WITH EVERYBODY AND RECEIVED MANY AWARDS AND REWARDS. YOU CAN COUNT ON 2 FINGERS ANY BAD REPORTS ABOUT ME......HOW CAN SHE GET AWAY WITH THAT.. CAN I FIGHT THAT?

I was a devoted hard working colleague who started as a now responsible for managing approx 49 colleagues. I was labeled as this "witch".... And I am sure that at times this was true to an extent. However i followed what i was taught as procedures and policies.. Anyways it was a night in Jan of this year and I was not feeling well and i contacted my "point person" and had her contact our "hr" person to see if it was possible that i get vacation for the remaining 8 hours of the day. This was approved and i left. I recieved a call from my point person at approx 1 am and she was very upset because another colleage who was sent in to check on things had caught a temporay colleague taking property of the company to his vehicle. The next day i was informed that i was being suspended upon investagation of "theft". I was floored and was very upset.. I had been with this company for 5 1/2 years and started from the ground....I was not there when this incident happenned and i was not involved... Anyways this could go on forever but the other 3 colleagues were terninated for the same reason and the same day and they all got their unemployment on the first try and i am now appealing this. Why was I denied???? I need that earned money for my family and my bills... There was no admission of guilt, there was no video as they claim they had there was nothing but he said she said and the head of hr informed me that he was dissopinnted that i had no idea that this was happenning... HELP ME

fasily accused of theft
April 6, 2010 at 2:53 pm
When this happens what does the employer have to have to prove this? What happens when this is not true and you keep saying this but you were denied of your unemployment benifits. There is no proof. There is not video showing this as they claim. There is no admission of guilt. What can you do to prove that you are telling the truth and that you did not take anything? What approach should you take on your phone hearing? Is it a positive thing when you contact the lawyers that unemployment provides and they want to take the case and they say they believe you ( of course they already have your file that you sent them)? I just don't want to get over exicted thinking that i am going to get the back pay that is due and earned to me?..I have over due bills just like everyone else?

April 21, 2010 at 9:30 pm
I was fired from a job I loved because the manager was a total lunatic who was going through her change . She even had me move the new manager in to an apartment (i was an apt manager) and I didnt even know it. I even caught on, since they said it was okay for her to be in a senior facility. I said please give me documentation for the file..I was given a nasty email saying WE said it was okay..blah blah..I repeatly asked to take PTO time off I earned, and was denied. 38 hrs they took from me that I earned. I filed a complaint with the state of MI to get it..we'll see how that goes. I filed for unemployment, but have to wait 6 weeks. I guess my advice is to keep all emails, document everything..I knew she would pull some kind of stunt eventually, so I did just that. If they deny me my unemployment, I am prepared for a fight. Also, during this waiting time, keep calling the unemployment office when youre supposed to (once every other week) because when or if youre approved for it, they will back pay you those weeks. I am simply disgusted on how employers these days in this economic hardship think they can yell and scream, and treat employees like dirt because they know they can easily be replaced by the millions of people who are unemployed. I wish there was some kind of committee (and maybe there is, I simply havent found it yet) that fight for the rights of employees being abused day after day by nutcase management. After I was fired, I felt such a relief..like the abuse was over, finally. Abuse is a strong word, but thats exactly how I felt. I pray I am never in that situation again. Good Luck to all.

All you can do is try. Most states are employee friendly. Look up on your state website (wages and employmemt something or other) to find the form where you can fight for them to pay you youre PTO. Thats what I did, still waiting to find out.

Curious in PA
April 28, 2010 at 6:29 pm
I worked at both UPS and Fedex part-time for approx a year. Upon hiring me at Fedex, the manager knew that i was currently employed by UPS. I have recently been terminated due to 'conflict of interests' obviously stated in their policy. My question is, can i collect partial unemployment for being fired? Two current managers knew i worked with UPS and they still employ multiple individuals who work with both companies. I have absolutely no desire to name drop for a chance to draw unemployment, just curious what my chances are. Thanks!

no, you cannot get unemployment if you were fired for threatening another employee. that is considered termination with cause. cause being you committed an illegal act on the premise and are now considered a risk to have as an employee.

I Really Messed Up...
May 17, 2010 at 6:55 pm
So now I probably have to suffer the consequences. I was laid off back in Sept 2009 from big telecommunications company. I've been on unemployment since then but I worked a temporary job out of town from Jan '10-April '10. I blame myself and I feel so stupid because I listened to really bad advice. I was told when I file my unemployment every week that the questions I answer pertain to the state I reside in and not the state I was temporary visiting and temping a job in. I take full responsibility for my stupid mistake. Now, the unemployment office has scheduled a phone hearing because I voluntary quit the temporary job. My residence is in Northern Virginia and I went to visit my elderly parents in Hawaii. They needed my help, so I went there to help them and then I got a temp job and then I came back home to Virginia. What do I say to them? Do I admit I made a mistake? As of this moment I am not working. I will be up the creek if they stop my unemployment benefits. What was I thinking? Of course that person and I are no longer friends and she works in HR!

I worked at a factory, through a temp agency, for 11 & half months. And a couple Saterdays ago I was working at my machine and I had my ipod in my pocket, with the ear buds hidden under my shirt to where all u could see is the ear buds coming out of the top of my collar. I only wore 1 ear bud & left the other 1 off so I could hear my supervisor if he spoke to me. I listened to them the whole 11 months and that Sat, My supervisor walked up to me & said pack your sh*t & go home!! I argued with him. & even begged him 2 atleast give me a warning, because hell, there where like 5 other employees who wore headphones too! I called and they said I was FIRED!! I filed for UNEMPLOYMENT , Do you think I will recieve benifits? I have a wife & an 18 month old son , I need help ASAP.
