I am in California. My company basically screwed. I was transitioning from being a manager back to part time status, but was still managing until the end of the month. My employer tells me to refer any issues to the training manager, so I asked will I get commission up until that date. I find out they took away my commission already while I was still managing without consulting me. I resigned right away feeling like they treated me very poorly. Do I qualify for unemployment insurance? Knowing my employer, they will end up saying something nasty so I'm a bit skeptical anyways.

Usually you have to get fired or laid off; quitters never win!

"When an employee files a claim for UI benefits, we send a Notice of Claim Filed, DE 1101CZ to the last employer. The employer may report information about the quit by responding to this notice in writing.
The EDD will contact you and the employer to get a more complete understanding of why you quit. The information is usually obtained by telephone approximately two weeks after the claim has been filed. Based on this information, we determine whether or not you are eligible, according to state law and regulations. Each case is decided individually."

If it was in your contract to receive commission while working as a manager and they took that away without notice then you have grounds for a hearing. I believe what will happen if you pursue is your job will be offered back and your commissions will be reinstated for that last month. Yes, I do believe that if they insist that you not get your commissions by your contract for that last month that quitting was justifiable and you will receive your unemployment benefits.

Just because you quite doesn't mean you won't get it. You will probably have to fight it and i hope you document names dates and times things were brought to your attention. i know that laws are also different in other states but they cannot just change your job description without your consent. When you were hired you had a job description. That is your contract with your company. They do have the right to change and alter but have to tell you. You could be entitled if you ask the right questions. I know because i quit and I got mine and a 3 month extension!!!

You will need to check with your local unemployment commission in your state-there are a lot of variables. They are the only ones to answer you correctly.

I qualified for it upon quitting because my employer assigned me to a different position paying about 60k less. Had to fight a little for it. Did it for pricipal not the cash. So, I got the last screwing in.

Unemployment insurance is to tide you over when something unexpected happens to make your job go away. Quitting forfeits your right to collect.

Generally you are not eligible for unemployment but if yo ubeleive that you did not receive all of your pay, consult a lawyer you may be able to sue.

I think you have to either be fired or laid off to qualify for unemployment. I can't think of any state that will grant it if u quit
