Did you know that big companys have entire departments
dedicated to one function and that is to dispute any and all unemployment claims.
You heard right.
They will stoop as low as they can to defame you and lie to make you not get your unemployment benefits.
They know what a long hassle it is for people to go through the interview and appeals process that could take 3 months.
They know that alot of people won't bother.
Corparate America is evil and don't ever trust that your employer has your best interests in mind. They don't.
Protect yourself people.
As soon as you start a new job, keep a file of everything.
Keep track of all missed breaks and lunches.
Know your employee rights.
Never quit a job. No unemployment.
Getting fired is better.
I called in on my birthday and said I was getting drunk all day and got fired and won my appeals hearing because the employer had no written history on me. I also won a claim for missed breaks and lunches.
Here's a great story to consider.
A guy asked his boss if he could take monday off work because he was going on a weekend trip.
The boss says no and if he did he would be fired.
He didn't show up and was fired.
During his unemployment hearing it was found that because the employer failed to reprimand this employee for previous missed days, the employee was
awarded umemployment benefits.
Even though the emploter proved that the employee missed 72 days in that last 12 months.
Keep records people.
Always file a labor board claim against past employers for missed breaks and lunches as well.
You will win 90 % of the time.
Did you know that if you work more than 5 hours in a day you are entitled to a mandatory lunch break or the employer must pay you an extra hours wage that day.
Even if you sign a waiver, voluntarily skipping lunch, the employer must have you sign a waiver each day you missed lunch.
Keep records people
I hope this helped a few people.
