I was terminated from my job for tardiness. Old boss didn't care when you came, late or not. We were supposed to write up ourselves when we were late. I was the only one to do this. When the old boss left, the new boss (who had been just a peon like me until promoted to boss) found the late slips and decided to make the retro active. Company policy was after 3 lates you received a warning, 4th, you got 3 days suspension, 5th, termination of employment. She skipped some of the steps and went straight to warning and next time will be 3 days suspension. My car wouldn't start one morning, I was suspended for 3 days. Next week my keys were locked in my car. I was terminated.
I filed for unemployment, I was granted it because locking keys in car is an acceptable reason for tardiness and I shouldn't have been fired.
My old employer is appealing because I locked my keys in my car before (have a 3 year old who likes to push buttons). Will he win the appeal or will I keep my wages?
