Unemployment - fivefingers

Posted: Dec 23, 2014

Does anyone know if you would be eligible for unemployment if you get terminated because you are not "meeting contractual obligations" i.e. LPH/QA?

you can try but they will appeal it. - nm

But then you contest their appeal. - (PS: Keep all your documentation!)

When you file your claim, mention Nuance's... - Will

reluctance to pay the minimum wage and that, when they do pay it, they threaten you. It's true and should throw a wrench into any attempts by Nuance to stop your collecting unemployment benefits.

Can't speak from experience - But I would say yes

Technically, I believe we are "at will" employees as an MLS. We're not IC's and aren't "exempt" (salaried) so therefore shouldn't have a contract.

As for not meeting these //new// requirements, I think we really would have even more on our side in regards to getting unemployment since they technically changed the job requirements after we were hired, which to me means that if you became unemployed because of that, you had nothing to do with becoming unemployed (as opposed to just not showing up for work, etc.)

If you've been laid off and are filing, PLEASE come back here and let us know (in a new post, since we won't be looking for it) if you succeeded in getting paid unemployment!

You can. Check your state's rule. There may just be - a short waiting period since you were

let go, but as long as it wasn't something atrocious (embezzelment, etc.) you can collect for being let go for that reason. File your claim right away though so the clock starts ticking in case there is a waiting period (sometimes 7-10 days is all)

It depends on your state. Here is some info I found through my state web site.

It depends on your state's eligibility requirements. To collect unemployment benefits, you must be out of work through no fault of your own. Most states consider employees who are fired for performance reasons or simply because they are a "bad fit" for the position to be eligible for benefits. On the other hand, an employee who commits serious misconduct, such as stealing from the company or violating important safety rules, probably won't be eligible.

Thanks. I have not been let go yet and I do not work for Nuance. I left Nuance over a year ago. I thought I was in for a better ride, but NO! I just have a feeling....I get dinged for a little less then 98% QA. Then when I slow down to produce great reports, I get dinged for low LPH. They keep threatening me with FORMAL NOTICES and FORMAL AND FINAL NOTICES, ETC.

Yes you can get it. - nm

I would try to get, but it depends on what your state requirements are. I was in the same boat with them, back and forth between production or quality. I think in Ohio you have to have 20 weeks of employment. I was a sole proprietor previously, so I cannot count that towards it. Gee, they got me out of there a 18 weeks. I think they know what they're doing.

Wondering....was forced to change from statutory employee to IC status with federal ID number instead of SS# when MDI-MD was rolled into Transcend. Now, Transcend informs that they are NOT going to be employing ICs after Jan 1, 2011. Would like to apply for unemployment, but am being told by a number of people that is not do-able because wages were paid under Federal ID #, not to my social and I signed an IC contract (under great duress, I might add!) Anybody have experience with this, ca ...

Has anyone applied for unemployment when you have run out of work? Just wondering, you can - even if you have work on and off, but not enough, depending on what your state requirements are. I can no longer survive like this anymore, work then no work - I have only made 100.00 in a week and a half. Anyone in this occupation should be able to be retrained through EDD as this job is disappearing and we are being taken advantage of ....... Just won ...

Start getting paperwork documentation in order NOW. Here's hoping you don't need it, but you will be that much further ahead if you do. Even if you're not at risk of being fired, laid off could be possible and you would still need this. It could be at least 21 days from the time the question arose, before you receive an answer about benefits. If your case is complicated in any way, it will take longer. Try as hard as you can to save up at least 2, if not ...

Some of you may know some or all of this about unemployment from the "employer's" perspective but here goes. I just spoke to my brother who is the CEO of his very successful business, with only a handful of employees, but he is looking on netting over 1 mil. next year (!) Anyway, he lives and works in California. He told me that if someone applies for disability, the state contacts him to hear his point-of-view. They tell him why the employee has filed, and he has a ...

Has anyone ever been offered a job and accepted offer letter only to turn it down and actually not start working at all at the company and then filing for unemployment benefits? This is what has happened to me. This happened to me and now evidently it threw up a red flag to unemployment benefits audit department. Now unemployment has to check with that company I was supposed to start at to verify employment and now I have a 50-50 chance of getting benefits and have to wait a ...

So much fun filing for partial unemployment. Have to send in weekly gross wages, which MMODAL say they can't let me know that until 3 days before payday, which does not work, as I have to report WEEKLY or I lose benefits for that one week. Just have to guesstimate what I earned by line counts straight and VR, but can't figure shift differential or what they screw you out of if you send too many QAs. I've reported this to ESD and let them handle it. Tired of messi ...

YES!!!!!!!! Ladies and gentlemen there IS hope! Because my employer dictated my hours per week, per day and the time I was to work unemployment considered that to be an employee status and NOT IC even though they didn't pay my taxes. This was the decision made after my prior employer appealed my unemployment benefits from them. Please keep the faith that these companies who try to dictate to IC's their hours, ect will NOT get away with it forever! I wish you'all the best of ...

Wondering if any long-term MTs are out there that have had problems since going to SR have gotten fired and qualified for retraining through unemployment? In the 14 years I was a MT before SR my quality was never below 99%, always well above required lines. I guess I just cannot read as well as I can type. I have even seen my doctor, who says that since reading uses a different part of the brain than typing, it's possible that I have had ADD and was never bothered until th ...

I live in Ohio, but I did live in Florida and Ohio told me I have to call Florida to finish up my benefits, but Florida told me that they have to investigate my case and that I can't receive unemployment anyway because I got fired.I have no hope now and I will be homeless if they don't help me.

beyond smarmy, they terminated the part time MTs because when they apply for unemployment (and they are without question able to get it because their jobs were eliminated) they will find the govt will document the last five quarters of their employment and base their rate of pay on a percentage of that. This will probably reflect a very low rate of unemployment insurance compensation that no one can live on, and thus not apply for unemployment. BUT if enough people do get unemploymen ...

Hi guys, I just filed for unemployment. I worked in a hospital and was laid off because of VR. I was paid 10.07 an hour plus incentive, which made me average about 17.00 an hour. The unemployment folks are telling me that I cannot count that incentive pay and they will only go by the hourly of 10.07! That's NOTHING! Does anyone know if this is correct or have you had the same issue and fought it and won? ...

Has anyone run into this problem? I am on unemployment since March, 2013. I am due for my first Tier. I had to call unemployment to start my first Tier. They wanted to know why I haven't found a job yet, not in my field, but anywhere, like Giant Eagle, etc. I said I can't stand or walk for a long time due to severe arthritis. But I also said I can sit and do work. They asked, "Are you under a doctor's care?" and I said yes. So they denied my first Tier unless I provide informatio ...
