I voluntarily term my employment, am I eligable for unemployment benefits in MI?

Question

I was hired on with an employer (non-profit) who boasted the flexability of working from home when family sick..set hown hours..etc. During the initial interview w/ this company, I was never told about a merge w/ another company taking place. # months after I start the merge is finalized, I have a new boss, I have to drive 20 xtra miles to and from work, I was told to find alternative daycare that would suit a set schedule, and I am required to work more 45+ hrs per week and I am salaried at 40. All this and more has changed since this merge has taken place. I expressed my concerns with my boss when I first heard of the merge (wanting to keep flexability, etc.) to my face at lunch even, he said "no problem, we have the same values" which has a complete lie!
I feelo like I am being harassed. I was sick one day, and took PTO for another few days to move-and every little thing I use to be able to do , I am being pulled aside getting my *** chewed for! Can I collect benefits ?

Answer 1

voluntary quit means you do not get unemployment

you best bet is to argue that the merger and the new terms of employment versus your old terms is in effected an offering of new employment, which you do not have to accept thus they in effected terminated the original terms and offering new terms of employment

a significant change in working status

Answer 2

usually, to receive those advantages you should be fired or laid off. by ability of voluntarily resigning, you're in theory giving up a superbly sturdy pastime, and as such are no longer entitled to those advantages. Sorry to pay attention approximately your scummy boss!

Answer 3

Simply put, a voluntary termination is 99% unlikely to receive benefits.

Answer 4

From what you state, you are probably not eligible for benefits, but you have nothing to lose by filing a claim.

Answer 5

Unless you can prove unsafe or hostile (not liking corporate policies or your boss is not hostile) then you cannot collect unemployment when you leave voluntarily.
