If i get fired for not being fast enough, and missing a few too many days would i qualify for unemployment?

Question

I need as much information as possible please

Answer 1

Well, in order to qualify for unemployment, you have to get 18 months of employment in.  

If you HAVE worked the prior 18 months, not being fast enough would be something that wouldn't keep you from collecting.

Taking too many days off work, well, losing your job for that, would likely disqualify you from coverage.

Answer 2

It depends on how long you worked there.  There is usually a probation period with most companies.  But you should be able to collect unemployment.  But I think you have to have been working there for like 6 months or something.  Call your local unemployment office, they will know.

Answer 3

You should.  Your chances are better than if you had quit.

Answer 4

You can file, and you must give a statement, and reason why you feel you deserve the compensation.

Both yours, and former employer's statement will be reviewed by an unemployment hearing judge, and a decision issue. If you don't agree with the initial decision, you may appeal.

During an appeal, you and the employer with go in front of an arbitrator, and plead your cases. A final decision will then be issued.

Disclose as much information as you can to support your case.

Answer 5

No.

In general if you are fired "for cause"...you do not qualify for unemployment insurance.  This prevents people from working the system by getting jobs....working just long enough..then getting themselves fired so they can collect unemployment. When the unemployment runs out...doing it again.  

With all the welfare and other types of fraud -- some people would take advantage of the system if allowed.

If you are laid off or down sized then you will qualify for unemployment insurance.

For example, you get fired b/c you were not a good employee...missed too many days of work. Most likely you will not qualify for unemployment.

If you are a mortgage broker who does a good job. But with the mortgage crisis, people are not taking out mortgage loans and re-fi's so the company does not need as many mortgage brokers and lets you go.  In this case, you would qualify for unemployment.
