What is a judicial review concerning Unemployment Compensation.

Question

I live in Florida. Recently, I was fired from my job for being late all the time. (Yes, I was being foolish.) Prior to me being fired, I was written up for two other offenses. One wasn't even my fault. An associate wrote the wrong date on a chemical chart and I was the one that got punished. Not only that, because I had written up before, I was eventually demoted as a manager. During my demotion, I was given something called a day of decision. That's when they send you home to give you time to think about your future with the company.

Now, fast forward about four months later, I am now fired for excessive tardies.

Recently, I looked up on the Internet that I can't get unemployment for tardiness. But you see, they never warned about tardiness. I got in trouble for other stuff. There is no documentation saying I was warned about being late. True it came up during my annual review, but they always give me a raise.

To the Unemployment People, I reported my prior offenses and the incident that broke the camel's back.

Now, the Unemployment People are telling me my claim is going through a judiciary review and that can take from four to five weeks. Can someone tell me what's going on? In order to write more evil stuff about them on my blog, I need to know the deal. Can anybody help me?

Answer 1

It is your fault.

You will not get unemployment.

You need an attitude adjustment big time or you will never hold a job long.

Answer 2

First bad point, you live in Florida. Being a "right to work" State, they can fire you for any/no reason and there is nothing you can do about it. Normally, if the employer wanted to deny you unemployment benefits, they would file an appeal. Then both of you would appear or be on a conference call with the mediator. A Judicial Review sounds more like you received Unemployment Benefits and they may be wanting you to repay them. Watch what you write in that blog since it may end up with you in court.
