I believe that if you had GOOD cause to resign that you could still be considered for unemployment.
If your performance is poor and they want you to correct or leave and you just leave – that would not be a good reason.
If the company was relocating to another state that could potentially be a good reason.
Hope this helps!

I’ve never had an attendance problem and I’ve never had a verbal or written warning about my attendance.
I refused to sign the letter and 5 minutes later he pulled me aside along with HR to let me know I was terminated.
Am I able to collect unemployment benefits?
thanks

I have been written up two times due to my poor performance in the company. I work in a time share company being a Marketing communitty. What i do if to qualify people to tour our resorts with the hope they can buy a time share apartment. My company requieres to have a minimun average per guest sale. But how can I manage the sales if i am not a seller. I send people to tour, I do not sell anything. My two wirtte up have been b/c i do not have a sales. Now they say if I do not have a sale until the end of the year they will fire me. I will be able to collect unemployment if they fire me. I go to the school also and I am getting sick b/c the stress of this situation and it is affecting my school performance (I go to the university)

I feel a person should be allowed to receive benefits. If they have a medical reason. That has an affect on them completing a job assignment. That’s just my opinion…..

Go to your library and check out a book on unemployment law. You’ll find that resigning, quitting, getting fired, etc. do not necessarily preclude you from getting UI Benefits. There are specific instances in which it’s OK to resign (briefly, hostile work environment, change of job description, etc.), though admittedly it will be more of a battle than if you were just laid off. One common misconception is that the employer “pays” for your unemployment. This is not exactly true. Employers pay into a tax fund every year that is used to go towards state unemployment regardless of whether their employees file and get paid on claims. Granted, if they have a large number of people filing for claims and getting them, the percentage they have to pay could increase slightly, but they don’t “pay” your personal unemployment.
Hope this helps!

I have been working for the school system for 20 years. I was to resign by them creating a bad rapsheet on me. I felt so discriminated by six staff and was welcome there at the workplace. They treated me unfairly that it causes me to have a heavy load of depression. Doctor recommonded to stay home for one month and to return to work after recooperation. I was told by the human resource that if did not return to work, my job word be terminated. Will I qualify for unemployment if I quit my job because of the unequal employment at work and they want me out either way?

They’re trying to find ways to fire me and that would lead to a bad record which will caused me to find new jobs. These staff nearly put me in the hospital because of the way they manipulate the system.

I work at an adult store (yes that kind) and I am dealing with tons of on the job stressors and have caused me to have anixety attacks. I was attacked on public transpo on my way home from work forcing me to drive on suspended liscense. Needless to say I was pulled over and commuter car which was purchased specifically for work is gone. I had a panic attack on my commute home which was on the same route on public transpo. The other transpo option would make my commute about 3 hours total, my job is about 20 miles from my home. If I quit my job in a mutual agreement with my boss can I draw unemployment? My therapist will give me the ok. I tried going back to work after the incident and was fine because I was driving but have had three panic attacks since Friday this is Sunday morning.

My therapist highly recommended that I give notice at my job because my boss is so emotionally abusive. I have taken her advice. Can I get unemployment if a counselor told me to quit?

I hate it when you get hired for F/T and when you start working your only working P/T -1/2 day
you mention youll have to look for more hours at another job on your days off and your current job takes it personal that you want to work 2 places becouse they expected to use you for an on-call employee, and end up harrassing you and setting you up to make you want to quit.so they dont have to pay for unemployment and their mad that you noticed you had P/T instead of F/T like they promised.a lot of businesses need to grow up or get a wake up call from BBB.
