Hello,
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!
Karen

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

Resigning usually means your going to get denied for unemployment benefits

If you quit you’re job you typically shouldn’t get unemployment. But there are exceptions. I suggest filing and see what happens.

Depends on your definition of forced to resign – can you give more details?

I have been employeed as a supervisor within the same company for 3+ yrs. I am being demoted in which means i will take a huge pay cut, can i resign and collect. My actual job performance is not the issue. i am believing this is personal. with my job position as all in the company we are required to drive, they provide company vehichles, i had 3 backing up accidents with the company vehicle only 1 involved another persons car. i was required to take 8hrs. of vacation and take a 250. at my own expense driving course. i passed with an A.
That was about three mnths ago. about two weeks ago i was driving and a woman cut me off with no turn signal, i beeped the horn at her and she called the 1 800 number onthe back of the vehichle i am now either being demoted or terminated, they dont even have the info. of driver. this is causing conflict on many levels, my clients and the families i have worked with and huge paycut. i have never had any traffic violation on of off the job. can i even possibly collect?

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…..

I had been in a car accident and ever since then my back hasn’t been the same I can’t afford medicare cause the of my cut hours since I’ve been on this job my back pains has gotten worse which has cause me to resign and find another job that I can take it easy on my back and more hours with benefits so I apply for affordable medicare.I tried to hold on to this job until I find an more safer job but I couldn’t bear the pain anymore longer and I didn’t want my back to get any worse than it has became. I want to know am I qualify for unemployment. phyl

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!
