I was fired from my job, now my employer tells unemployment that I quit. Any Advice before interview?

Question

Basically, I was fired for not answering my telephone the night before when I was "needed." 9:30 p.m. I worked on a military base and when my id's were ripped from my hands, keys were taken, and was told if i didn't leave, the MP's wouyld be called I left. But now, my boss decides to tell unemployment that I quit and I have to make my case to an examiner. Is the blatant lying olegal and what should I do?

Answer 1

In the private sector it's a case of he said-she said. It also depends on your state's unemployment laws, here if you quit or are fired you aren't eligible anyway, layoff only. The employer or manager also needs to realize their position is more tenuous than yours. There is nothing to stop you from saying what you want about a former employer, so long as its true. But the employer can say only the employee worked for them from (date) to (date). You can make your case to the examiner, but it's still he said-she said.

Answer 2

Was there a witness to you being fired? Was there a different individual than the one who fired you, who informed you that you needed to come in to the office? A secretary, etc. At least then you would have someone who could at least say, "Yes, the boss called you in." instead of you walking in out of the blue and quitting.

Answer 3

first of all why are you scared to tell the truth? if this person blatantly lied you must state this in your defense. and tell them that you were fired because you didnt ans the phone. NOW YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE that you give a justifiable reason why you didnt answer the phone that will work in your favor and truthful. Don't defend these asssholes. Let them get what is coming to them!

Answer 4

adverse performance isn't misconduct. hence your mom must be able to deliver jointly unemployment. My wager is that her ex-agency received't proceed to lie once the count number number of unemployment is resolved. in the experience that your mom wins her case, his insurance organization would ought to pay her. he will no longer have some thing to attain through mendacity. hence, he will in all likelihood provide her a good reference.
