I was hired and terminated within three days. I have been in the industry for 15 plus years never been in this situation. I am wondering if they can deny me a claim for unemployment. When a company denies a claim don't they have to have prove (physical not just one word against another)
Also when they terminated me (I live in MA) there was no termination letter and all they said was I was not a good fit for the job. I never had a chance to work it took 2 days to get a desk. Does anyone have any information on this ??

I forgot to mention I work at another company for two years prior to this employer. I interviewed for 3 hours and also granted a background check.They offered me employment. Also they acquied a company from the offer of my job and my start date (maybe something with that?). My references are excellent I really would not lie on a resume cause you always get caught. No matter what anyone thinks. I have been working in this industry for 10+ years.
I cannot go back to my employer they have hired someone else. According to my state MA I have enough time forfull benefits.

Unemployment goes by rhe highest earning quarter over the last 12 months. If you worked in the last year, and paid in, and were never fired from those jobs for "Cause".
You should be OK. Unless you used up your entitlement on previous unemplyment benefits.

Ken C is correct that you must work for a period of time to collect unemployment.
In the majority of states an employer can deny any claim for unemployment. Then the claim goes before an administrative law judge. In most states employees cannot get unemployment if they quit or if the employer can prove "misconduct". Misconduct is NOT what the word means in common speech, it is a legal term governed by the state law.
You are wrong, because a misconduct finding that prevents unemployment has not been determined. Also when an employer denies a claim they may or may not need to present physical evidence, it depends on why they are denying it and the state laws.
As for not having a "termination Letter", unless you are under a union or employment contract that requires such a letter you are an at will employee with few rights.
Go to the following website -----

This is your state's unemployment information.

Do you have enuf earnings to collect unemployment? I know when I left one job for another which fell thru. I tried to file unemployment but the unemployment people said I was like $100 short of earnings for the quarter and it was denied. I started a new job and never thought again about that claim that was denied.... Until 2 weeks later I received a letter in the mail stating I was now approved for the unemployment because I had met the earnings requirement for the quarter...... Oh how I wanted that "unenjoyment"... but I was making good money at my new job....
You wouldn't be able to get unemployment from the place that let you go but if you recently had earnings, you should be able to get it from the previous employer/s.

The terms under which you were hired originally may have stipulated a trial, or training period during which you can be terminated. Many jobs are at "at the pleasure of the employer", meaning an employer can terminate the position without giving a reason. Three days is too short a time to qualify for unemployment through that employer.

You need to have worked a certain number of days per quarter year before you can collect.. Go to the MA Department of Labor website, look for unemployment benefits link and you will find specific information.

Generally on a new job, most employees are on a probationary period of 30, or 60, or 90 days. During that time, you can be let go for any reason, or for no reason. If they said you were not a good fit for the job, they are within their rights and perfectly legal. Move on.
and no, you cannot collect unemployment for working 3 days.

Did you lie on your Application about your experience and
build your resume a little false, 3 days something is wrong, they didn't even show you around . Go ask the employment office , who knows what may happen.

You are most likely not eligible for unemployment, as you were let go during the probationary period.
Although, it can't hurt to try and see what happens. The worst that can happen is that your claim is denied.
