She was told she was being fired for her attitude. No warnings or written warnings. This is all she was told. When she was denied for unemployment the employer who fired her said that she had lied and that was her reason for being fired. We live in MO - the employer doesn;t have to give any reason for letting you go. What would her chances be if she tried to appeal?

I agree with the majority of forum members and their response that MO is an at-will state in which an at-will employee can be terminated within the first 30-day probationary period. Don't waste your valuable time [and that of your daughter] appealing the dismissal to a higher forum. Chalk this dismissal as a hard lesson of which for want of a better excuse, caused you great pain and suffering. I would not list this employment on any future job application or resume.
Good luck!

First of all, if approved, she wouldn't be drawing upon this company. They go by the number of quarters a person has worked.
At the appeal, both parties will give detailed information as to what happened.
In order to win, she must prove that she was terminated, but through no fault of own. An example would be that she couldn't use the software they use and so forth. She will probably be denied is she had a bad attitude or if she lied. It really doesn't matter which one, because it would be her fault. She will be denied if she was terminated due to her own actions.

Missouri is an "At will" employer. That means the employee/employer relationship can end at any time by either side (unless a signed contract is involved) without cause. The unemployment was declined because she did not work there for the minimum of 30 days.

Appealed what her denial of unemployment. She only worked for eight days, maybe she did have a bad attitude. Or maybe she just couldn't do the job right. You don't fire good employees. Instead of filing for unemployment over 8 days, go look for another job and just don't disclose that employer.

The employee is usuall y considered on probationary status for at least 90 days, even in the best places. I don't know if Missouri is an "at will" state or not, but she is reallly not in any position to appeal. It would be a waste of time that she could spend finding another job.

Appeal what? She got fired, the employer doesn't even nead a reason. Tell her to get a better attitude and a different job.

0-Every job has a probationary period where the employer can fire you for no reason what so ever.You need to be employed with the same job for at least 3 quarters or 9 months before you can claim unemployment.

So she had a **** attitude, got fired for it, and is doing her best to hose the system after working only 8 days? Let's hope the chances are slim.

I live in W.V. You can always appeal the decision of the unemployment office. She'll go before a judge that will hear her case.If she loses there it can be appealed again but the likely hood of being successful there is slim.

After 8 days, she had nothing invested. She should just find another job. If the boss didn't like her personality, then he/she can fire her. She needs to find another job and remove this 8 day job from her resume.
