Can you get unemployment if you quit your job for not being paid correctly - Curious


Posted: Jan 27, 2012

Can you get unemployment if you quit your job for not being paid correctly (shorted lines, bonus, etc.)?

That is a tricky one. You need to check the laws in the state you live in, and perhaps speak with a compliance officer. I think their answer would be for you to straighten out your issues with payroll, but would not see this as a reason to quit your job! I don't think they are going to be willing to replace your income. They may even refer you to the Department of Labor.

I don't know how much you make, or have been cheated out of; however, if you are that upset about it, perhaps you should find another job before you quit this one and try to collect UE benefits. It really would not seem fair to me. You have a job and income. There are people who do not. Now, maybe you don't like the company, and perhaps they ARE cheating you as you say, but to collect UE benefits over it? I can't agree with that, but check your UE office.

Granted, most of them really don't make a different in the meaning of the sentence, but how would you feel if you were the one reading your medical report and it looked like crap or maybe faulty punctuation did change the meaning of what was in your report?
