Can you get unemployment in oregon if you get fired for absenses?

Question

I've had a recent family emergency and in turn missed a few days of work. I might be getting fired and want to know if I'll be eligible to get my unemployment benefits?

Answer 1

Yes.  Unemployment is for people who get fired or laid off.  Apply immediately, there is a waiting period that doesn't start until you apply.

Answer 2

Depends on what your state will give you for benefits.  You are not eligible for any benefits from your previous employer.

Answer 3

Fired is fired ... if you QUIT you wouldn't get unemployment.

If it was truly a family emergency (believe me, I don't care ... but I've had a lot of employee's grandmother's deaths in my days) you may be eligible for FMLA - the Family Leave Act which would protect your job.

Answer 4

If you got fired, prooooobably not.

Answer 5

If they think your absence was justified.

Answer 6

yes you can collect unemployment if you get fired, laid off or your job moves to a new location.  the only way you can't get it if you get fired is if you were doing some illegal while on the job

Answer 7

i don't think you will be able to collect, check your state guidelines

Answer 8

Doesn't look good. The company could state it was a quit without notice. Any time one quits a job, only under very unusal cirumstances is one eligiable for unemployment benifets. Did you let them know before you left?... did you call in???  

Answer 9

Do you have documentation that proves you had family emergencies? If so, absolutely. They should give it to you, and your ex-employer should shut their pie hole and think twice before firing someone over something so silly.
