Is It Legal For Employer To Fire Me And Refuse To Give Proper Info To Unemployment Office When Contacted?
I think my exemployer ignored the unemployment office request for my job history because the last job listed with unemployment was the job I quit to accept the job offer from the employer who just fired me. Can they legally do that? To the unemployment agency it appeared that I quit my last job for no reason and had not gotten another job.
legally all he has to do is confirm date of hire and date of termination, nothing more
#1. how long did you work for this new job? if it was under three months, unemployment probably hasn’t gotten your info yet. employers are only obligated to report quarterly.
#2. over three months, do you have your pay stubs? were taxes deducted? did they make you fill out a W-4 form when you started working for them? – If “yes” go to the IRS and tell them the sittuation since you probably won’t be getting a w2 from them at tax time either
#3. call them and tell them that you want a record of your disciplinary actions such as write ups and repremands. If they refuse, got to the labor board and see what kind of troule you can cause for them there by finding an intake manager and telling your whole story again
good luck
hell no it ain’t legal for an employer to lie and give false information. you should go back to your employer and for him/her to explain themself.
From what I know in CA…
You get the unemployment based on what you say in your interview. The office then sends a notice to the place you last worked and they get the option to appeal it if they think it is wrong. If you worked there less than 90 days, and were fired, you have no right to the benefits. Did you receive a pamphlet? If not, call the number, and they will send you one. Read the whole thing. All of your questions will be answered also if you call them. It’s worth it to call. Their customer service department are usually really understanding and nice, and will answer your questions. DON’T ASK THE INTERVIEWER ANY QUESTIONS. They are mean and short.
YES
depending on the situation to the unemployment office
In Illinois, any person caught lying to Unemployment (be it the person claiming unemployment or the company appealing) there are penalties that have to be paid. I think that the best thing for you to do in this situation is tell the truth, and don’t interrupt when your former employer is talking.
