Below is a conversation I had with a former employee a short time ago (back when he was employed).
Him: “That’s fine; I’ll just sit at home and earn unemployment.”
Me: “You can always apply for unemployment. But you will not win considering these circumstances.”
Him: According to the Office of Unemployment Compensation, blah, blah, blah…
Yes, this guy actually called me with a State unemployment manual in front of him and started quoting from it. Want to know what happened?
First level determination – we won.
Second level determination – we won.
Hearing level – we won.
Now who’s laughing, bud? If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it one thousand times – if you know what you’re doing, you will NEVER lose an unemployment claim – no matter what it is filed for.
Oh, by the way, to the attorney who sent me a solicitation letter saying she’d represent my company for $800 per unemployment claim – think again – I don’t need your help. If you know what you’re doing, it’s a piece of cake.
