I left my job but I felt like I was forced out because I was being targeted. I hope that doesn't fall under voluntary leave. Thanks for this video it was very informative.
@Micscience I was near death and went to the emergency room where I was told I had to stay and have emergency surgery. The next day I had surgery and was told I had to stay for a week but due to the rise in Covid-19 I was sent home with two weeks of bed rest. On the last week of my bed rest my job was shut down and I found a new job. I made it perfectly clear that I had to work in an environment that took precautions and measures to make sure they contained Covid-19 since I have a compromised immune system and I also help care for my elderly parents that have high compromised immune systems. I was told that they take the highest measures to ensure Covid-19 isn’t a problem yet they did just the opposite and on the second day they had to close because of Covid-19. I did the logical thing and quit. When I was tested I had Covid-19 that has caused so many complications and my elderly parents thank God didn’t have it. There was no way I could continue working there.
@songtresspatrece If you are still working what would help is to make a formal complaint so it is on record that you were having issues with your job. If you are referring to: (You were scheduled to start a new job but could not because of COVID-19) That I have no experience with.
You or someone in your home was diagnosed with COVID-19, or have symptoms and are waiting to be diagnosed You’re caring for a family member or someone in your home who has COVID-19 You’re caring for a child whose school or childcare is closed because of COVID-19 You’ve been quarantined by a government body or medical professional You’ve lost your job or cannot reach your job because of COVID-19 You’ve become the main source of income for a household due to a death caused by COVID-19 You’ve quit your job because of COVID-19 Your workplace is closed because of COVID-19 You were scheduled to start a new job but could not because of COVID-19
Although this video was based off of Illinois, I found it very informative and hope that information I've learned here will help me prevail in my VS employer case here in Ohio.
This is very helpful at BR stage requested Transcript and exhibits. Will look up adjudicated precedence while waiting for transcript. Then put together a written brief. Western District Judge dismissed earlier related case but 5 out of 7 counts were without prejudice. I have filed with EEOC. ADA accommodations were not offered to tele work even after being granted tele work in 2020-2021 school year for the mere mention that I could not wear a mask. They fought it in 2021 because of my station an opinion regarding efficacy of masks. They granted FMLA and an additional 4 weeks medical leave but when I pressed them to accommodate my medical needs the issue was ignored and they proceeded to a loudermill hearing to charge me with willful misconduct and abandonment of job. The masks were still in place till after the hearing date in January i submitted a written response as to why I would not attend the hearing. They stated they used my letter as evidence but I do not believe it was even considered.
I made a big mistake not reading carefully through the instructions on my Notice of Hearing, but I've been fighting mine for 8 months and all the papers have me overwhelmed. Still my fault, but I hope they give me the opportunity to mention email evidence I have. Mine required 5 days before the hearing to submit documents, and now it's too late.
@MeezyBaby TuckLove Good for you! Glad to hear it! My bf just had his hearing. They went over their points policy and said they suspend people 2 times before firing them then didn't have any proof he was ever suspended. So I 'm hopeful that he'll win.
@Danielle Hunt yes I won my case the judge asked how many points I had when I was fired and the HR said 10.5 but we point out at 8 n we also found out my supervisor fired me over my points but wrote it up as I stop coming to work 3 days no call or show but I won against they ass....
@MeezyBaby TuckLove Did you win? My bf is fighting a similar case. He pointed out but didn't realize he had so many points. He thought they fell off after the year ended.
I’m in a similar situation. I had to quit my job because the second day they closed for Covid-19 and had closed many times before because of Corona. I have a very compromised immune system and I care for two elderly parents. I asked up front about how they make sure Covid-19 is not an issue and they lied, so not only was I exposed to Covid-19 and caught it but my elderly parents were exposed as well. I had just gotten out the hospital and had two weeks of bed rest prior to starting the job.
I had a hearing with my job and the referee and the employer clearly said in the hearing that i was not fired for mis conduct and but the referee still ruled it as misconduct.
I was leaving my job and my employer requested a notice so they could plan ahead (for my replacement presumably). I submitted a one month notice as is customary for healthcare providers and was let go that same day. I filed for unemployment as the next job's start date was still unknown and COVID could potentially stop the new job from happening altogether (march 2020). Anybody have experience in being released beyond the standard 2 week notice like my situation??? My appeal hearing is this month.
Thank you . I was unjustly voluntarily fired. After I got injured my spinal cord a a my job . They had put me into unpaid leave . After having my doctors letters . They sent me the letter . Terrible . What they did . Thank you so much for the information God Bless 🙏
I left my job due to really bad equipment. I also took video footage and have pre trip documentation of it. I figure they will still fight me on it. It was a union job but the union representative and I both said they would retaliate in some form so it was best to just part ways.
@amanda You won your case as soon as you mentioned the company you worked for moved their office out of transportation reach for you. No bus line and no vehicle. I had the same situation happen to me, were my car had crapped out completely and there was no bus in my town, I won my unemployment then. As for this company I'm dealing with now, after 14+ weeks I got a determination, they said I left my position due to medical reasons, this is far from the truth. I've been in touch with legal-aid, they're taking my case.
Would it be worth getting a lawyer? Could be a case of "constructive dismissal" if the equipment was dangerous or something. Basically you could try to prove you were forced to quit because of bad conditions. But I'm sure your union rep probably already considered this. Thought I'd throw it out there because I went through a similar thing, but non-union (a banking job, which seriously needs to be union). My company changed my office location after Covid and even put me in a different position I wasn't trained for - they refused to let me work my regular job from home (which my immediate manager even suggested to upper management). I couldn't commute to the new location (don't have a car, no public transport to the new office) then the company wouldn't let me have my old job back when the regular office reopened. It was ridiculous to close the regular office because I only worked with 4 other people, all spread far apart in their own closed spaces, and all my colleagues were very cautious of the virus. They assigned me to a place with more employees whom I didn't know, and in close proximity. It was a nightmare.
I filed in June and have been receiving payments from June 14th, however I have not been able to get through to TWC and they never sent me the DUA packet that they claim they will send. Furthermore, upon leaving a request for call back and getting the call back one week later, I was told that even though I am eligable to receive DUA assistance, I was denied my back pay because I didnt file for the ui until June. A friend filed for exactly the same thing with almost identical circumstances and she filed 2 weeks after I did, and she is getting $11,000 in about 5 days?? Can they arbitrarily decide who gets it and who wont even with identical situations? I could lose my lease due to lack of income, which I lost a huge contract (self employed) as a result of covid-19. I filed an appeal and now the appeal wont even post for another 3 weeks. We could be on the streets by then. Is this even legal in Texas, arbitrary case denials?
Marlene DR I am not sure what I can help you with. I still have not received any word about my DUA backpay, and I am just as frustrated as ever. I would think if an employer wanted something like a change in tax filing status, he would probably have you sign something so challenge him with that angle. If that doesnt work, look up the strength of a verbal agreement and see what might work to your advantage. Sometimes the smallest piece of information can take down the biggest loser...Good luck.
How many times can an employer an appeal.1st they appealed the initial clam than i appealed that decision.Now they have appealed that decision 6 months later.They never appeared for my appeal knowing they would either win or have to appeal again.So question how many times can the decision be appealed.Seems the courts favor employers becuase of their experience and its singling out employees as individuals based on previous claims .if not for cov2 quarantees and the UI dept shutting down I would not be in this mess.I thought i was done with it but now 6 months later its causing me grief again.
I got let go in June of last year w a severance package, I filed for unemployment and I never got anything... whenever I would finally get thru to someone they would say it's in progress...or they're backed up...come Feb, they send me letter of denial, I'm still devastated, in debt and in a verge of depression bc of this. I did finally go back to a new job in January but now I'm living paycheck to paycheck cuz of DOL. What can I do to collect my back pay? There must be something I can do...Please help!
He keeps using the word referee? I live in California and they don't call them that but maybe that's just another term that is used?.... Most everything he's saying sounds valid for California but possibly it's a little different?..... I'm going through a issue, case, problem where the owner of the shop I worked at can't be honest, won't be honest, has decided not to be honest... she's coming up with every kind of story it's incredibly stressful to watch her turn into this type of a person, she believes the money is coming out of her pocket and she's scared to death.....
I applied for UI 5 months ago and after waiting that long I found out the employer has denied the claim! this is awful! The law should change, if employer fries, employer should pay for it!
My employer didn’t attend my hearing, they denied my unemployment. I did an appeal again and it when to the board of review. My decision says the board of review adopts the findings of the administrative hearing officer and hear your affirms the decision. What does that mean?
My Employer said I had excessive absences and thus terminated me. I had been on FMLA then four more weeks Dr approved leave for disability due to mask policy. When I asked for reasonable accommodations for the fourth or fifth time. They simply ignored my request stating I needed a doctors note to return to work knowing that Masks were still in place and I would not be able to enter the building. The 2020-2021 school year when I stated I could not wear a mask I was placed in cyber so worked from home. retaliation for me filing in western district court asking the School District to make masks optional so people could choose.
I have a special needs son that I have to take care of every morning. I applied to this company bc I needed a second shift job. After 2 1/2 years they came to me and said you're the low man on seniority, you have to switch to 2 am 10:30 am shift starting January 1st, told them I couldn't due to my son's needs. They said that would be a voluntary layoff. Does that prevent me to get unemployment while I look for another job? Please help
I worked 3.5 years pt at a liquor store/bar. I am disabled, aphasia. My 2 employers know that. The woman =employer during the day, kinda make fun of me, if she has a bad day, I was her punching bag! I worked 1 hr in the morning to clean. 2 hrs evening to stock, from the back room to the freezer. Not a easy job! I did more than the employers! The man-employer told me a few times, should be skinnier? I told him, never say this to me again! did again! I had more problems with them. I had to quit my job new years eve 2021. I did apply for unemployment. I have an appeal hearing tomorrow, I do have a lawyer (LSNJ) too. I do hopefully I will win? What happens if the employers do not, go through the appeal? We will see! And-I feel like, mental abused from them! I gave my 2 weeks to leave 3 times to the male employer, both, sweet talked to still working there. Now-I feel so stupid.
Unemployment benefits is an insurance scam by the government. Employers and employees pay in through taxes. Employers through unemployment insurance and the employee through Medicare and state withheld taxes even though employers are convinced that ONLY they pay in. Veterans and the lower class are abused the most by unemployment. Higher risk employees pay in the SAME amount as a low risk employee. That's not how insurance works. If there is MORE money in unemployment. There is more money on the government's pocket. Its disgusting. My last employer is making HORRIBLE accusations of me. This video made me want to fight them even more. I really appreciated it. Thank you.
Hi, Teeny I understand how you feel. I also didn't expect insurance could be like this. This is first weird experience in my life. TWC is there to block people get benefit rather than provide benefit service. No way to reach them, when they call me i just answer their question. They never provide details or what i missing to complete the claim. Seems like they are above the god. This hard period, they help situation worse.
Hello. If my former employer who is not my last employer but 4th to last, is claiming to be my last employer,in order to receive employer benefits off my unemployment claim, when, I have 3 employers after him, don't think he is the one who should be receiving those. Also......when I first applied, the agent who took my claim, withheld wage information from another out of state unemployment agency. I know this, because they said I had no wages or hours to declare, but it is clearly on my original application, plus sent in financials and documents...which is how I became a victim of the Accellion data breach. Thanks
What if my employer supports my claim, but IDES is the problem and even sent me a determination for backdating letter where the font wasn’t updated or something and HALF the characters are rectangles?
I got hurt at the job While on my shift. I let my job no. My job did not give me any information or a tell me what to do. I went myself to the emergency Room and send copies of all the paperwork that I got from the hospital. it's workman's comp issue. But my job said it's not there I did not follow protocol. I'm not sure what is protocol but common sense to me is to let the job know what took place what happened and that's what I did. I apply for unemployment got 2 letters from unemployment 1st letter said I was eligible 2nd one said I was not so I put in an appeal not sure what to do now give me some advice please
I was not let into my work. Long term facility facility. Answering the corona virus check list. Every other day I had answered yes or no. Finally still coughing under a doctors care facility shut me out. Now we’re told by our Governer to stay home.
Trish Jaye Right now we have Govener saying stay home. The employers can’t do anything. In fact he says they pay sick leave for all your days. I just wrote the Governor here a nice long note. Mailed it today
I had a fever at work and was sent home.... i was told I couldn't return to work without a drs note.... a week later I received a call from my boss telling me not to return to work and to file for unemployment. She said that I had 5 days to file. So I did... i applied and got approved and after I got approved they called back and said come back to work put your children in daycare. Then a coworker said they want people to come back because they don't to pay unemployment and because everyone's making too much from unemployment. I didn't return because technically they already let me go when they said not to return and to go file for unemployment.... then the owner called me and said she's appealing my unemployment and she's going to say that I'm committing fraud because she never told me to file for unemployment. Still waiting for that process.... 😒
👆👆👆I bless the day He was recommended to me,though I was so reluctant doing deals with him…but I’m grateful today.his balance cc and guidance made me who I am today…
I was terminated after a black coworker made complaint to HR that she overheard me say something to another coworker and claimed she was offended, after this coworker approached me, I apologized and said coworker said because they knew me and knew I meant nothing by it, it would go no further. I never mentioned another word about it giving no reason not cause for this coworker to escalate it to HR, but she did and I was had no knowledge of her actions until I was called in a room and told by HR said coworker filed a complaint in which said coworker claimed to be extremely offended by what I said, HR told me they have a no tolerance policy when it comes to racism in the workplace and I was terminated. I’m in California and I’ve filed for unemployment but they scheduled an interview for this Tuesday. I been unemployed a month, I can’t afford to get denied and have to appeal. How do avoid that process and get interviewer to approve my claim? I’m in Southern California.
@Julie Hoffman-Halliburton - that is super messed up what they did to you, and your co worker. If I were you, I would gather my evidence, get a sworn affidavit from the co worker stating that she did not file a grievance with HR, and that you had infact resolved the issue, have it noterized, or shit, even video tape it, then I would get a lawyer and file a wrongful termination suit. ***i would like to make a statement to all of the haters over reacting and berating this poor woman: Really, you have nothing better to do than fan the flames of that rediculous constructed drama? Julie Hoffman-Halliburton is not a racists or predudice, or a bigot. Her word choice may not have been the “correct” one, but there was no malicious intent behind her words. In order for what she said to be considered “hate speech”, racist, or even derogatory it would have to have been accompanied with the INTENT to denegrate, insult, or harm. I don’t believe it was. We are not perfect. I am sure that every single person reading this is guilty of at some point in their life, using a less than PC word to describe someone that may have offended them, and probably didn’t even know the word was offensive. Example: calling Asians Oriental, referring to a little person as a midget, calling your friends retarded when they do something stupid. I would never call a mentally challenged person retarded, but I used to call my normal intelligence friends “retarded” all the time when I was clowning about something. I was not trying to offend anyone, but once I found out that it was offensive, I stopped using it. My point is, we all make mistakes, or misstep from time to time. It’s not the end of the world. Making mountains out of mole hills is just lame. Everyone needs to chill the f**k out. Seriously, can we get our panties in a bunch about an actual issue that matters.
Julie Hoffman-Halliburton You didn’t do anything or say anything offensive and damn sure didn’t commit an act of racism. You should tell your story on a bigger platform and see how many people would agree you committed an act of racism...nobody. I can NOT believe what I’m reading here, those who endure real racism will be highly offended by this ridiculous claim against you.
Precision Enterprises I did apologize and she accepted my apology and said she knew I meant nothing by it. As it turned out it I was lied to by my former employer, manager and HR Director. They did call this person into a meeting with the expectation she’d give them the complaint they needed from her to take action, but she didn’t, she refused and sent me a screenshot of her email sent to the manager. She didn’t give them what they needed so they just lied and said that she did, they told me repeatedly that it was her who filed a complaint and prompted their investigation and my termination. They used her and mislead me to believe it was her and never mentioned the fact that it was not her but someone else, they used her to protect the other persons identity, it was a total plot, collusion and coverup. I want to know how they can blatantly lie, make false allegations and accusations, without her complaint they had no grounds for an investigation, they were relying on her to give them what they needed and could use, she refused so they lied about it and said she did. She didn’t, she told them it was resolved and we were moving forward. She was pissed when I told her that I was told she pursued it further, said she did file a complaint and when I questioned my conversation with her and the issue being resolved, why would she pursue it after she’d told me she wouldn’t and every time their response was because she was offended. They built their case in a lie and fabricated evidence. How can they get away with this? I have a lawyer and thus far they refuse to make any settlement.
A L they used their positions and collectively collaborated to abuse their power and authority to take action on false allegations based on their deliberate deception. They did it, they collaborated and colluded together and they pulled it off successfully. The people involved should be held accountable for what they did, for their actions regardless of their tenure, position or power. They lied and they need to be held accountable. I want them to be held accountable.
I missed a resea phone call and my benefits were stopped. I appealed and they received my appeal November 17 2021 but I still haven’t had a hearing date. IDES sucks ass and there’s no way to sign up for resea plus there’s no in person program it’s only over the phone so it’s all just bs. Why is my appeal taking so long to be scheduled.
TWC avoid phone apply for 4 month, after 4 months, they say i am not eligible which is not. Then i ask them letter of denial, then they transferred to someone nothing to do this claim. Then 3 months waiting online, they deny my claim without reason. I can"t forget ladies voice from TWC sound like master is ordering to their maid. That is what happen this 21 century with pandemic situation. Wow. They might want us to get affected by Covid then no requesting benefit. Wow.
i didn't get any kind of warning or notice.... i was in the top 5 of efficiency regarding work production out of a lot of employees.... thousands in the facility and 300 per area of operation.... out of 300 employees! top 5! ??????????????? i had a dialogue with HR!!! let them know that i was having medical issues..... i just wanted my job back, not unemployment! the email i recently got said that the hearing will be by email? weird, but whatever! my phone service where i am is very bad so i'd rather have it that way i guess. oh yea! the HR eventually BLOCKED MY EMAILS!!!!!!!!! crazy!
@K Parks I think I was. It has to do with reason fired to. The Unemployment agency has a hard time deciding to give a payout if fired for "poor performance" being laid off is easier for there decision to give out unemployment
@Tsar Peter I Employers would ask for a dr. Note if it was due to personal injury. A family emergency is more complicating since a employer would think it's an intentional excuse. I learned that owners of a company can be real dicks and micromanage if they feel someone is "slow" the owner is an ahole and thinks I can finish in time with no help. I was just the only dishwasher and there was 4 cooks on super busy weekend days. No help, no breaks, and no efing around still made me finish 2 hours after closing. It's very unfair and inhuman being wrongfully terminated in December
I left my work because the employer was committed a misconduct. I presented my case and the referee denied my claim saying I should’ve secure another job before leaving. Is that valid?
You'd have to prove it and it'd have to be grievous. Employers get away with a lot of misconduct and malfeasance. Basically, try to get yourself 'laid-off' to collect unemployment or act all happy and kiss ass and find another job. Don't burn bridges. It's better to get a good reference then to leave in fire and flames.
Where are you located ? I need legal advice for my appeal . My appeal is under consideration. What exactly does that mean ? Can I hire you to help me ?
Can anyone help me. I left a new job due to them not taking Covid-19 seriously and me catching Covid-19 with a very compromised immune system and I also care for my elderly parents.
I wish you were here in Ohio. Many advertise about being an unemployment letter but many have no idea how to provide a strategy. Many have NO clue. Your on your own here.
Manager started dating me i moved in with tbem then it didn't work out so i moved out. He didn't fire me but didn't give me any hours so i had good cause to not continue work cause i wasn't on schedule. I never got letter i was fired. This happened around 18-20 months ago. Ive been severely depressed can i revieve unemployment im ready be homeless? Please help?
Wow I'm so depressed and frustrated, I was approved benefits back in May 2020 I have been getting benefits since then but today February 09, 2021 they told me that my employer is appealing my employment, It is been al most a year, this is NOT my fault, what if they now say that the company is right? How am I gonna pay so much money back for something it didn't approve, but TWC DID! Any help?
@JJ Lopez I have mine the 22nd and I’m nervous I got in a accident with an 18 wheeler and left my job due to them over working me I have documentation of me going into the ambulance etc hopefully that helps
@Planetary Farms yes during the appeal hearing they employer, employee & judge will be on the phone. I hope y’all did ok. I have my hearing tomorrow for a years worth of back pay due to voluntary quit because of my daycare lady quitting on me. 🤦♀️ This was all a joke.
You or someone in your home was diagnosed with COVID-19, or have symptoms and are waiting to be diagnosed You’re caring for a family member or someone in your home who has COVID-19 You’re caring for a child whose school or childcare is closed because of COVID-19 You’ve been quarantined by a government body or medical professional You’ve lost your job or cannot reach your job because of COVID-19 You’ve become the main source of income for a household due to a death caused by COVID-19 You’ve quit your job because of COVID-19 Your workplace is closed because of COVID-19 You were scheduled to start a new job but could not because of COVID-19
Dont waste your time on an appeal without a lawyer. Wow what a joke . Every person I have ever had any conservation with involved with EDD was an nasty rude arse. There was no hearing it was this supposed impartial administrative law judge, who was in no way impartial. Who literally without me saying a word except and occasional ok after he said something. Do nothing but scold me and chastise me to not speak and let him talk . I hadnt said a word until he tried to enter into the record I called late . Actually I called 4 times the first I was 30 minutes early, when he didnt call back like he was suppose to. AT 945 iI called again . he finally answered at 10 and asked me why I was late calling. Unbelievable.
This video is a valid resource. After watching & preparing, I was able to win my first unemployment appeal. Thanks bro
@A&B Mcgheedamn mine took a few weeks
@Yahyahpretty it took me over a year to get one
How long did it take to have your hearing from the day you filed your appeal?
I left my job but I felt like I was forced out because I was being targeted. I hope that doesn't fall under voluntary leave. Thanks for this video it was very informative.
@Micscience I was near death and went to the emergency room where I was told I had to stay and have emergency surgery. The next day I had surgery and was told I had to stay for a week but due to the rise in Covid-19 I was sent home with two weeks of bed rest. On the last week of my bed rest my job was shut down and I found a new job. I made it perfectly clear that I had to work in an environment that took precautions and measures to make sure they contained Covid-19 since I have a compromised immune system and I also help care for my elderly parents that have high compromised immune systems. I was told that they take the highest measures to ensure Covid-19 isn’t a problem yet they did just the opposite and on the second day they had to close because of Covid-19. I did the logical thing and quit. When I was tested I had Covid-19 that has caused so many complications and my elderly parents thank God didn’t have it. There was no way I could continue working there.
@songtresspatrece If you are still working what would help is to make a formal complaint so it is on record that you were having issues with your job.
If you are referring to:
(You were scheduled to start a new job but could not because of COVID-19)
That I have no experience with.
I have a case com up and the last issue is what I experienced. Do you have any advice?
You or someone in your home was diagnosed with COVID-19, or have symptoms and are waiting to be diagnosed
You’re caring for a family member or someone in your home who has COVID-19
You’re caring for a child whose school or childcare is closed because of COVID-19
You’ve been quarantined by a government body or medical professional
You’ve lost your job or cannot reach your job because of COVID-19
You’ve become the main source of income for a household due to a death caused by COVID-19
You’ve quit your job because of COVID-19
Your workplace is closed because of COVID-19
You were scheduled to start a new job but could not because of COVID-19
Although this video was based off of Illinois, I found it very informative and hope that information I've learned here will help me prevail in my VS employer case here in Ohio.
How did it go?
Any way I can contact you ? I’m trying to start a case myself in Ohio
I won my employment appeal using this video. Thank you so much!
This is very helpful at BR stage requested Transcript and exhibits. Will look up adjudicated precedence while waiting for transcript. Then put together a written brief. Western District Judge dismissed earlier related case but 5 out of 7 counts were without prejudice. I have filed with EEOC. ADA accommodations were not offered to tele work even after being granted tele work in 2020-2021 school year for the mere mention that I could not wear a mask. They fought it in 2021 because of my station an opinion regarding efficacy of masks. They granted FMLA and an additional 4 weeks medical leave but when I pressed them to accommodate my medical needs the issue was ignored and they proceeded to a loudermill hearing to charge me with willful misconduct and abandonment of job. The masks were still in place till after the hearing date in January i submitted a written response as to why I would not attend the hearing. They stated they used my letter as evidence but I do not believe it was even considered.
Thank you very much! Well explained!
I made a big mistake not reading carefully through the instructions on my Notice of Hearing, but I've been fighting mine for 8 months and all the papers have me overwhelmed. Still my fault, but I hope they give me the opportunity to mention email evidence I have. Mine required 5 days before the hearing to submit documents, and now it's too late.
@MeezyBaby TuckLove Good for you! Glad to hear it! My bf just had his hearing. They went over their points policy and said they suspend people 2 times before firing them then didn't have any proof he was ever suspended. So I 'm hopeful that he'll win.
@Danielle Hunt yes I won my case the judge asked how many points I had when I was fired and the HR said 10.5 but we point out at 8 n we also found out my supervisor fired me over my points but wrote it up as I stop coming to work 3 days no call or show but I won against they ass....
@MeezyBaby TuckLove Did you win? My bf is fighting a similar case. He pointed out but didn't realize he had so many points. He thought they fell off after the year ended.
@amanda omg this is currently me! Can you help me ! Omg I dont want to loose at all, I haven't had mine yet.
I’m in a similar situation. I had to quit my job because the second day they closed for Covid-19 and had closed many times before because of Corona. I have a very compromised immune system and I care for two elderly parents. I asked up front about how they make sure Covid-19 is not an issue and they lied, so not only was I exposed to Covid-19 and caught it but my elderly parents were exposed as well. I had just gotten out the hospital and had two weeks of bed rest prior to starting the job.
I had a hearing with my job and the referee and the employer clearly said in the hearing that i was not fired for mis conduct and but the referee still ruled it as misconduct.
I was leaving my job and my employer requested a notice so they could plan ahead (for my replacement presumably). I submitted a one month notice as is customary for healthcare providers and was let go that same day. I filed for unemployment as the next job's start date was still unknown and COVID could potentially stop the new job from happening altogether (march 2020). Anybody have experience in being released beyond the standard 2 week notice like my situation??? My appeal hearing is this month.

Terrible . What they did .
Thank you so much for the information
God Bless 🙏
👆👆👆I will keep telling the people the good work of this man his the great man of all time…
I left my job due to really bad equipment. I also took video footage and have pre trip documentation of it. I figure they will still fight me on it. It was a union job but the union representative and I both said they would retaliate in some form so it was best to just part ways.
Good luck.
@amanda You won your case as soon as you mentioned the company you worked for moved their office out of transportation reach for you. No bus line and no vehicle. I had the same situation happen to me, were my car had crapped out completely and there was no bus in my town, I won my unemployment then. As for this company I'm dealing with now, after 14+ weeks I got a determination, they said I left my position due to medical reasons, this is far from the truth. I've been in touch with legal-aid, they're taking my case.
Would it be worth getting a lawyer? Could be a case of "constructive dismissal" if the equipment was dangerous or something. Basically you could try to prove you were forced to quit because of bad conditions. But I'm sure your union rep probably already considered this. Thought I'd throw it out there because I went through a similar thing, but non-union (a banking job, which seriously needs to be union). My company changed my office location after Covid and even put me in a different position I wasn't trained for - they refused to let me work my regular job from home (which my immediate manager even suggested to upper management). I couldn't commute to the new location (don't have a car, no public transport to the new office) then the company wouldn't let me have my old job back when the regular office reopened. It was ridiculous to close the regular office because I only worked with 4 other people, all spread far apart in their own closed spaces, and all my colleagues were very cautious of the virus. They assigned me to a place with more employees whom I didn't know, and in close proximity. It was a nightmare.
i was fired through a group text by a manager. But they are telling unemployment that i quit. Hearing is today. Wish me luck
I haven’t even received in mail denial or excepted. “ UNDECIDED “
Everything makes Spence you say thank you!!!!!
I filed in June and have been receiving payments from June 14th, however I have not been able to get through to TWC and they never sent me the DUA packet that they claim they will send. Furthermore, upon leaving a request for call back and getting the call back one week later, I was told that even though I am eligable to receive DUA assistance, I was denied my back pay because I didnt file for the ui until June. A friend filed for exactly the same thing with almost identical circumstances and she filed 2 weeks after I did, and she is getting $11,000 in about 5 days?? Can they arbitrarily decide who gets it and who wont even with identical situations? I could lose my lease due to lack of income, which I lost a huge contract (self employed) as a result of covid-19. I filed an appeal and now the appeal wont even post for another 3 weeks. We could be on the streets by then. Is this even legal in Texas, arbitrary case denials?
Marlene DR
I am not sure what I can help you with. I still have not received any word about my DUA backpay, and I am just as frustrated as ever. I would think if an employer wanted something like a change in tax filing status, he would probably have you sign something so challenge him with that angle. If that doesnt work, look up the strength of a verbal agreement and see what might work to your advantage. Sometimes the smallest piece of information can take down the biggest loser...Good luck.
Maybe address the issue of having a poor ALJ.
What do you do when he flat out says "I didn't review the materials you sent, there was too much. "
@VIRTUAL REALITY
HAHAHA
HAHA
Ha!
Good luck.
Don't be bummed when your hopes go up in smoke.
I heard you can file an appeal to Board of Review.
How many times can an employer an appeal.1st they appealed the initial clam than i appealed that decision.Now they have appealed that decision 6 months later.They never appeared for my appeal knowing they would either win or have to appeal again.So question how many times can the decision be appealed.Seems the courts favor employers becuase of their experience and its singling out employees as individuals based on previous claims .if not for cov2 quarantees and the UI dept shutting down I would not be in this mess.I thought i was done with it but now 6 months later its causing me grief again.
Yes me to
I got let go in June of last year w a severance package, I filed for unemployment and I never got anything... whenever I would finally get thru to someone they would say it's in progress...or they're backed up...come Feb, they send me letter of denial, I'm still devastated, in debt and in a verge of depression bc of this. I did finally go back to a new job in January but now I'm living paycheck to paycheck cuz of DOL. What can I do to collect my back pay? There must be something I can do...Please help!
He keeps using the word referee?
I live in California and they don't call them that but maybe that's just another term that is used?.... Most everything he's saying sounds valid for California but possibly it's a little different?..... I'm going through a issue, case, problem where the owner of the shop I worked at can't be honest, won't be honest, has decided not to be honest... she's coming up with every kind of story it's incredibly stressful to watch her turn into this type of a person, she believes the money is coming out of her pocket and she's scared to death.....
I applied for UI 5 months ago and after waiting that long I found out the employer has denied the claim! this is awful! The law should change, if employer fries, employer should pay for it!
What if the employer doesn't show up to a hearing?
My employer didn’t attend my hearing, they denied my unemployment. I did an appeal again and it when to the board of review. My decision says the board of review adopts the findings of the administrative hearing officer and hear your affirms the decision. What does that mean?
High chance they'll re-appeal or reschedule. Don't let your guard down.
My Employer said I had excessive absences and thus terminated me. I had been on FMLA then four more weeks Dr approved leave for disability due to mask policy. When I asked for reasonable accommodations for the fourth or fifth time. They simply ignored my request stating I needed a doctors note to return to work knowing that Masks were still in place and I would not be able to enter the building. The 2020-2021 school year when I stated I could not wear a mask I was placed in cyber so worked from home. retaliation for me filing in western district court asking the School District to make masks optional so people could choose.
I have a special needs son that I have to take care of every morning. I applied to this company bc I needed a second shift job. After 2 1/2 years they came to me and said you're the low man on seniority, you have to switch to 2 am 10:30 am shift starting January 1st, told them I couldn't due to my son's needs. They said that would be a voluntary layoff. Does that prevent me to get unemployment while I look for another job? Please help
I worked 3.5 years pt at a liquor store/bar. I am disabled, aphasia. My 2 employers know that. The woman =employer during the day, kinda make fun of me, if she has a bad day, I was her punching bag! I worked 1 hr in the morning to clean. 2 hrs evening to stock, from the back room to the freezer. Not a easy job! I did more than the employers! The man-employer told me a few times, should be skinnier? I told him, never say this to me again! did again! I had more problems with them. I had to quit my job new years eve 2021. I did apply for unemployment. I have an appeal hearing tomorrow, I do have a lawyer (LSNJ) too. I do hopefully I will win? What happens if the employers do not, go through the appeal? We will see! And-I feel like, mental abused from them! I gave my 2 weeks to leave 3 times to the male employer, both, sweet talked to still working there. Now-I feel so stupid.
Thank you so very much!
Good information!! I am in the process of an Appeal. *The Truth shall Prevail!! (Me -vs- Employer... Michigan.)
Unemployment benefits is an insurance scam by the government. Employers and employees pay in through taxes. Employers through unemployment insurance and the employee through Medicare and state withheld taxes even though employers are convinced that ONLY they pay in.
Veterans and the lower class are abused the most by unemployment. Higher risk employees pay in the SAME amount as a low risk employee. That's not how insurance works. If there is MORE money in unemployment. There is more money on the government's pocket.
Its disgusting.
My last employer is making HORRIBLE accusations of me. This video made me want to fight them even more. I really appreciated it.
Thank you.
Same problem here 😥, can't get the
Hi, Teeny
I understand how you feel. I also didn't expect insurance could be like this.
This is first weird experience in my life.
TWC is there to block people get benefit rather than provide benefit service.
No way to reach them, when they call me i just answer their question. They never provide details or what i missing to complete the claim.
Seems like they are above the god. This hard period, they help situation worse.
Hello.
If my former employer who is not my last employer but 4th to last, is claiming to be my last employer,in order to receive employer benefits off my unemployment claim, when,
I have 3 employers after him, don't think he is the one who should be receiving those. Also......when I first applied, the agent who took my claim, withheld wage information from another out of state unemployment agency. I know this, because they said I had no wages or hours to declare, but it is clearly on my original application, plus sent in financials and documents...which is how I became a victim of the Accellion data breach.
Thanks
What if my employer supports my claim, but IDES is the problem and even sent me a determination for backdating letter where the font wasn’t updated or something and HALF the characters are rectangles?
I got hurt at the job While on my shift. I let my job no. My job did not give me any information or a tell me what to do. I went myself to the emergency Room and send copies of all the paperwork that I got from the hospital. it's workman's comp issue. But my job said it's not there I did not follow protocol. I'm not sure what is protocol but common sense to me is to let the job know what took place what happened and that's what I did. I apply for unemployment got 2 letters from unemployment 1st letter said I was eligible 2nd one said I was not so I put in an appeal not sure what to do now give me some advice please
I was not let into my work. Long term facility facility. Answering the corona virus check list.
Every other day I had answered yes or no.
Finally still coughing under a doctors care facility shut me out.
Now we’re told by our Governer to stay home.
@Trish Jaye hi what was the outcome with your appeal?
Trish Jaye
Right now we have Govener saying stay home. The employers can’t do anything. In fact he says they pay sick leave for all your days.
I just wrote the Governor here a nice long note. Mailed it today
I had a fever at work and was sent home.... i was told I couldn't return to work without a drs note.... a week later I received a call from my boss telling me not to return to work and to file for unemployment. She said that I had 5 days to file. So I did... i applied and got approved and after I got approved they called back and said come back to work put your children in daycare. Then a coworker said they want people to come back because they don't to pay unemployment and because everyone's making too much from unemployment. I didn't return because technically they already let me go when they said not to return and to go file for unemployment.... then the owner called me and said she's appealing my unemployment and she's going to say that I'm committing fraud because she never told me to file for unemployment. Still waiting for that process.... 😒
I dozed off during a training and got fired. I then got denied unemployment. She acknowledged that I didn't do it on purpose.
😂 Damn that's cut throat. Don't mean to laugh.
I live in PA , I have appeal appointment for overpayment for PUA ( self employed gig worker ) .any advice please ?.😊
👆👆👆I bless the day He was recommended to me,though I was so reluctant doing deals with him…but I’m grateful today.his balance cc and guidance made me who I am today…
Has anyone been fired for a safety violation? And how do present a winning case against it.
AWESOME INFORMATION. I realize your information is not here in Arkansas yet I’m sure a lot the same ty
Yes I am from Arkansas too and ran into this video
They denied my claim because I didn't show 2 forms of i.d in time .so I appealed it .what should I do ??
I was terminated after a black coworker made complaint to HR that she overheard me say something to another coworker and claimed she was offended, after this coworker approached me, I apologized and said coworker said because they knew me and knew I meant nothing by it, it would go no further. I never mentioned another word about it giving no reason not cause for this coworker to escalate it to HR, but she did and I was had no knowledge of her actions until I was called in a room and told by HR said coworker filed a complaint in which said coworker claimed to be extremely offended by what I said, HR told me they have a no tolerance policy when it comes to racism in the workplace and I was terminated. I’m in California and I’ve filed for unemployment but they scheduled an interview for this Tuesday. I been unemployed a month, I can’t afford to get denied and have to appeal. How do avoid that process and get interviewer to approve my claim?
I’m in Southern California.
@Julie Hoffman-Halliburton - that is super messed up what they did to you, and your co worker. If I were you, I would gather my evidence, get a sworn affidavit from the co worker stating that she did not file a grievance with HR, and that you had infact resolved the issue, have it noterized, or shit, even video tape it, then I would get a lawyer and file a wrongful termination suit.
***i would like to make a statement to all of the haters over reacting and berating this poor woman: Really, you have nothing better to do than fan the flames of that rediculous constructed drama? Julie Hoffman-Halliburton is not a racists or predudice, or a bigot. Her word choice may not have been the “correct” one, but there was no malicious intent behind her words. In order for what she said to be considered “hate speech”, racist, or even derogatory it would have to have been accompanied with the INTENT to denegrate, insult, or harm. I don’t believe it was. We are not perfect. I am sure that every single person reading this is guilty of at some point in their life, using a less than PC word to describe someone that may have offended them, and probably didn’t even know the word was offensive. Example: calling Asians Oriental, referring to a little person as a midget, calling your friends retarded when they do something stupid. I would never call a mentally challenged person retarded, but I used to call my normal intelligence friends “retarded” all the time when I was clowning about something. I was not trying to offend anyone, but once I found out that it was offensive, I stopped using it. My point is, we all make mistakes, or misstep from time to time. It’s not the end of the world. Making mountains out of mole hills is just lame. Everyone needs to chill the f**k out. Seriously, can we get our panties in a bunch about an actual issue that matters.
Julie Hoffman-Halliburton You didn’t do anything or say anything offensive and damn sure didn’t commit an act of racism. You should tell your story on a bigger platform and see how many people would agree you committed an act of racism...nobody. I can NOT believe what I’m reading here, those who endure real racism will be highly offended by this ridiculous claim against you.
Precision Enterprises I did apologize and she accepted my apology and said she knew I meant nothing by it. As it turned out it I was lied to by my former employer, manager and HR Director. They did call this person into a meeting with the expectation she’d give them the complaint they needed from her to take action, but she didn’t, she refused and sent me a screenshot of her email sent to the manager. She didn’t give them what they needed so they just lied and said that she did, they told me repeatedly that it was her who filed a complaint and prompted their investigation and my termination. They used her and mislead me to believe it was her and never mentioned the fact that it was not her but someone else, they used her to protect the other persons identity, it was a total plot, collusion and coverup. I want to know how they can blatantly lie, make false allegations and accusations, without her complaint they had no grounds for an investigation, they were relying on her to give them what they needed and could use, she refused so they lied about it and said she did. She didn’t, she told them it was resolved and we were moving forward. She was pissed when I told her that I was told she pursued it further, said she did file a complaint and when I questioned my conversation with her and the issue being resolved, why would she pursue it after she’d told me she wouldn’t and every time their response was because she was offended. They built their case in a lie and fabricated evidence. How can they get away with this? I have a lawyer and thus far they refuse to make any settlement.
A L they used their positions and collectively collaborated to abuse their power and authority to take action on false allegations based on their deliberate deception. They did it, they collaborated and colluded together and they pulled it off successfully. The people involved should be held accountable for what they did, for their actions regardless of their tenure, position or power. They lied and they need to be held accountable. I want them to be held accountable.
THANK YOU!
was helpful
I missed a resea phone call and my benefits were stopped. I appealed and they received my appeal November 17 2021 but I still haven’t had a hearing date. IDES sucks ass and there’s no way to sign up for resea plus there’s no in person program it’s only over the phone so it’s all just bs. Why is my appeal taking so long to be scheduled.
My local unemployment agency has had a undecided status. Yet I’ve served my waiting time.
I’ve called everyone and Have waited now three four weeks
TWC avoid phone apply for 4 month, after 4 months, they say i am not eligible which is not. Then i ask them letter of denial, then they transferred to someone nothing to do this claim.
Then 3 months waiting online, they deny my claim without reason.
I can"t forget ladies voice from TWC sound like master is ordering to their maid.
That is what happen this 21 century with pandemic situation. Wow. They might want us to get affected by Covid then no requesting benefit.
Wow.
i didn't get any kind of warning or notice.... i was in the top 5 of efficiency regarding work production out of a lot of employees.... thousands in the facility and 300 per area of operation.... out of 300 employees! top 5! ??????????????? i had a dialogue with HR!!! let them know that i was having medical issues..... i just wanted my job back, not unemployment! the email i recently got said that the hearing will be by email? weird, but whatever! my phone service where i am is very bad so i'd rather have it that way i guess. oh yea! the HR eventually BLOCKED MY EMAILS!!!!!!!!! crazy!
Thank you!
I live in southeast Wisconsin and i've been fired for "poor performance"
@K Parks Thanks. It was a crappy restaurant job anyways. I'll be advancing myself
@Chris Lee Aries oh okay.. gotcha.. good luck moving forward!!
@K Parks I think I was. It has to do with reason fired to. The Unemployment agency has a hard time deciding to give a payout if fired for "poor performance" being laid off is easier for there decision to give out unemployment
were you denied? i thought performance issues aren't grounds for denial of benefits
@Tsar Peter I Employers would ask for a dr. Note if it was due to personal injury. A family emergency is more complicating since a employer would think it's an intentional excuse. I learned that owners of a company can be real dicks and micromanage if they feel someone is "slow" the owner is an ahole and thinks I can finish in time with no help. I was just the only dishwasher and there was 4 cooks on super busy weekend days. No help, no breaks, and no efing around still made me finish 2 hours after closing. It's very unfair and inhuman being wrongfully terminated in December
I left my work because the employer was committed a misconduct. I presented my case and the referee denied my claim saying I should’ve secure another job before leaving. Is that valid?
Probably should have appealed again with the board.
The problem is you left. When you leave it is almost always your fault.
You'd have to prove it and it'd have to be grievous. Employers get away with a lot of misconduct and malfeasance. Basically, try to get yourself 'laid-off' to collect unemployment or act all happy and kiss ass and find another job. Don't burn bridges. It's better to get a good reference then to leave in fire and flames.
What if you miss the 10 day appeal date?
Then you win
I had a court case over the phone and they didn't show I felt insulted but what does that mean does that go in my favor?
No
If you're referring to the employer.... that didn't show... then yes it should go in your favor.
Where are you located ? I need legal advice for my appeal . My appeal is under consideration. What exactly does that mean ? Can I hire you to help me ?
Can anyone help me. I left a new job due to them not taking Covid-19 seriously and me catching Covid-19 with a very compromised immune system and I also care for my elderly parents.
Thank you.
My employer was not at either hearing or appeal.
They also dramatically changed the nature of my shift
I could definitely use somebody's help with knowledge anyone assist me on my question
I wish you were here in Ohio. Many advertise about being an unemployment letter but many have no idea how to provide a strategy. Many have NO clue. Your on your own here.
I agree with you.
Alot of overpaid going on over the last year!
Exactly now it’s hard to f***king get unemployment

How am I gonna pay so much money back for something it didn't approve, but TWC DID! Any help?
@JJ Lopez I have mine the 22nd and I’m nervous I got in a accident with an 18 wheeler and left my job due to them over working me I have documentation of me going into the ambulance etc hopefully that helps
@JJ Lopez Thank you very much.
@Michael Myers The employer canceled the appeal. I didn't have the hearing. Don't be nervous you will be fine just call in on time.
@JJ Lopez I know this is old but how did everything work out? I'm in the same boat. The anxiety is soul crushing.
@Planetary Farms yes during the appeal hearing they employer, employee & judge will be on the phone. I hope y’all did ok. I have my hearing tomorrow for a years worth of back pay due to voluntary quit because of my daycare lady quitting on me. 🤦♀️ This was all a joke.

Did you get the money how long it took
How did you win? Why we’re u let go!?
Dont waste your time on an appeal without a lawyer. Wow what a joke . Every person I have ever had any conservation with involved with EDD was an nasty rude arse. There was no hearing it was this supposed impartial administrative law judge, who was in no way impartial. Who literally without me saying a word except and occasional ok after he said something. Do nothing but scold me and chastise me to not speak and let him talk . I hadnt said a word until he tried to enter into the record I called late . Actually I called 4 times the first I was 30 minutes early, when he didnt call back like he was suppose to. AT 945 iI called again . he finally answered at 10 and asked me why I was late calling. Unbelievable.
I have a question before I appeal have to have lawyer
