A friend of mine was recently informed by his supervisor that his company is planning on laying off his entire department. He later on notice that they were giving people warning for stupid stuff. For example, one of his co-worker took an extra 10 minutes for lunch so they wrote her up for that. OK so before they fired him he decided to give his two weeks notice. In the letter he mentioned that he got another job which is not true - he's still looking. My question is, can he apply for unemployment even though he voluntarily resigned? I read somewhere on the NYS Dept. of Labor website that he can get benefits if he says he quit b/c of transportation.. meaning he lost his way of transportation to and from work. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
