I turned in my 2 weeks notice on 2/1/07 and was walked out the next day. I was willing to work up until 2/14/07 but they had other plans and my new job doesnt start until 2/19/07. Do you think I will be able to collect unemployment for the 2 weeks I am off? I just filed a claim but I will probably be working at my new job before they get around to calling me. It is a better job for me, more money and I dont think they will let me start early. The lady on the EDD line couldnt tell me, she said they will have to review the claim.

The title should be "then management walked me out the next day," since nobody is reading my actual post except for one person.
Read what else I wrote before answering the question please.
I was effectively fired since I was willing to work until the 14th but the company forced me to stop working before that date. The EDD lady put down I was terminated but could not tell me if I am elgible.

Since they walked you out of the job it is qualified as being lay off. They forced you to quit before you wanted too. Did they give you any compensation or you should have demanded two week pay for that time. Did your previous company pay you for the last 2 weeks? Or you get any severance package? If they forced you to leave and you didn't get any compensation. Then you should be able to file unemployment against them since you were in sence lay off before your final day. I know you are able to collect if factory has a shut down for a week or two so you should qualify

In very few circumstances will you be awarded unemployment when you quit. Only when you have good cause and proof to back it up. You are considered to have quit because you gave notice before they let you go. Anyone can file a claim anytime, that doesn't mean you will QUALIFY for unemployment benefits. Like one of the other posters said, see if you can start the new job early or just enjoy the time off.

If you are in the USA and do not have a Union You have some issues: 1. HR are is going to claim you resigned, i.e. voluntary quit, which means you do not get to collect unemployment, the fact HR made your two week notice effective the day you placed HR on notice is not relevant , since employers may elect to make resignation effected immediately upon notice and does not have to honor the 2 weeks 2. You are going to have a difficult time in trying to say; you where actually fired by the Plant Manager, since you gave two week notice to HR; there is no formal HR letter of termination, basically need to get the Plant Manger to say he fired you

You are entitled for pay for the two weeks you would have worked, that they did not let you work. You aren't entitled to unemployment since you resigned. This isn't handled as them firing you, but they do owe you for the notice period you gave. This also isn't uncommon. I've seen companies let people go early when they've given notice. You definitely want to file a claim on those two weeks with unemployment and get your final pay. You won't be eligible for any more, but it should hold you until you get your new job.

As long as you "walked off" the job and considering you already have future employment lined up I do not believe they'll grant it to you.
You quit. That's how they'll look at it. And 2 weeks is nowhere near long enough to go through the unemployment filing process.
I'd just let it go. Or, try it and see if you can't get a few extra bucks from Uncle Sam. Remember though, he's got deep pockets and very short arms.

Most states have a penalty time (like 7 weeks) that you can not collect unemployment if you quit. This keeps low level earners from just working half a year and then quitting to collect for the rest of the year. But if the EDD lady could tell you that your state might be different. It doesn't hurt to try.

Probably not. You don't get unemployment for quitting a job; and there is usually a 1-2 week waiting period before your claim takes depending on the state you work in.

LOL, you quit so there is no way that you can claim unemployment.
Why don't you call and see if they will let you start early. Although, a 2wk vacation might be nice. And walking out on a notice does look bad.

No. But your former employer needs to pay you until the 14th as long as you handed in a resignation letter stating that the 14th would be your last day.

No. You get unemployment when you are unemployed due to no fault of your own. You should have let them dismiss you instead of walking out. Then you could have collected.
