Collecting Unemployment If You’re Fired

Posted on by

If you are fired, your employer has the burden to show that you were fired for misconduct connected to your work. If they are alleging attendance or performance problems on your part, they should produce documents to prove your attendance or performance problems to you. If your employer fails to produce documents showing performance or attendance problems on your part and you dispute your employer’s allegations, you should be able to avoid a penalty on your unemployment benefits. Furthermore, if you are let go for health reasons out of your control such as an injury, you should be able to receive unemployment benefits.
