Can you get unemployment benefits if you quit a job after working only one day?

Question

The job wasn't what I expected it to be.

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

You need a min of 6 months and be fired or layed off, not quit.

Answer 3

To qualify for unemployment:

1. You must have worked during two different calendar quarters

2. You are involuntarily unemployed.

You have no chance of qualifying unless:

1. You previously worked at another job for a sufficient time so that you were already qualified (or within one day of qualifying) before this job, AND

2. Your absolutely had to quit for a very good reason, such that it was not voluntary on your part.

Even then, you still might be denied.

Answer 4

No  

Answer 5

NO , you have to be their for 6 month. and you have to have a good reason for quiting.  

Answer 6

They are not obligated because you voluntarily quit. There would be a case if you were fired or laid off.

Answer 7

Lol no first of all you have to be FIRED, then if you were fired, you had to have worked over 270 hours to get unemployment benefits.

Answer 8

Nope. You can't get unemployment benefits if you quit no matter how long you've been working at the job. You only collect benefits if you lose your job through no fault of your own (like if the company goes out of business or something) and the amount you collect is based on how long you've been working.So in your situation, that would be a double "no".

Answer 9

not unless they told you it was going to be something totally different and That was a job you could not or would not be expected to do. Say it was a waitress job and then you got there and were expected to be topless, or a job where they said no heavy lifting and then changed it. Or unsafe working conditions or perverted boss. Either way, you still would have had enough unemployment stored up from other jobs because that would be what it was paid out of.

Hope I have been helpful.

Answer 10

no way sorry please pick me for best

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

No.  You have to work longer than one day, and you also have to be terminated.  Voluntary termination of employment doesn't give you the right to collect benefits.

Answer 13

lol

Answer 14

not when you quit voluntarily

Answer 15

I don't believe so.  My understanding is that you can't get unemployment if you voluntarily leave a job.  You have to be fired/laid off, etc.
