I have this job, that i actually love. unfortunately i keep getting blamed for the owner's errors as he will never admit to his mistakes. Accounting gets on my case and gives me an attitude. We hired a new girl to take up some of the slack since pregnancy has taken an emotional toll on my usually perfect job performace. She is making a few errors which are not so much a big deal since there is a learning curve and procedures are constantly changing within the office. But in thinking i am the one making the errors, i am blamed and am told that my job preformance is not acceptable. I am keeping a log of all my duties throughout the day which i have been doing since i was given a "last formal warning". i'm still confused about when i received my first formal warning.

No, you CAN get unemployment thru requesting a hearing if it's deemed that you were under duress due to sexual harassment or emotional abuse or whatever.
Unfortunately, you would have to have proof such as a log or something to that nature. It's always worth a try. Otherwise, you can always look for another job.

Quitting and unemployment NEVER can go together.
"i keep getting blamed for the owner's errors as he will never admit to his mistakes"
That's the beauty of owning your own business, you have the right to run your biz anyway you want, including straight into the ground.
Keep keeping the log, that way, even if their paper trail shows gross incompetance, you'll have something to counter it with. But then again, is this REALLY the way you want to live? Maybe there are better places for you to work.

My suggestion would be to find another source of employment. This is obviously not working out for you. I would say that you do not have a case that you are quitting under duress you are not under threat of physical violence or extortion.

Bella,
This may be considered "Pregnancy Discrimination"......

Does your company have an HR department that you can go to? They should be able to tell you when you received a "first" warning.
You won't be able to collect unemployment, so I hope you don't have much longer before you go on maternity leave. TRY not to stress out too much, because it can affect the little one!
Best of luck to you!
