If I worked for almost two years and then had to resign,would I be eligable for un-employment?

You can't get Employment benefits if you resign a job UNLESS you can prove that you were forced to resign or you had just-cause (any type of harrassment, poor working conditions, etc.). But if you just walked out cause you hated your job, sorry. You can't collect.\n\nBy the way it is EMPLOYMENT benefits, not UNEMPLOYMENT benefits.  Such a common misconception......

Most employment is "at will", i.e. it can be terminated by either party at any time with whatever notice (if any) a party wishes to give.  A 2 week notice by an employee has become an accepted practice but an employee owes an employer no notice should the employee quit and not want to give notice.\n\nLikewise, the employer owes the employee no notice.  Many employers decide not to have a departing employee talking to other employees for 2 weeks and just let them go with no notice to avoid that.\n\nBut that means the employee has been terminated and did not resign because the termination was before the termination  became effective.\n\nYou do not have to be paid for the 2 weeks if, as my entire answer has been predicated on, we are talking about "at will"employment with no other employment contract issues.

Coming from someone who has had to fire employees for not including their entire work history on their application, you must be honest. Usually there will be a note on the actual appication stating the consequences of not listing all employment over the last 10 years, typically they will not hire you or terminate you when they realize you falsified your application.  Most employers who interview applicants realize that things happen on the job and it doesn't neccesarily mean that you are a risky hire.  If the reason you quit doesn't look favorably on you and you are asked about it in an interview, provide a truthful but brief explanation.  The more details you offer does not mean they will be more likely to see you side of the story.  You also do not have to list that former employer as a reference, list employers who will speak well of your strengths.  Bottom line, BE HONEST.

I believe the State decides whether or not you are eligable for unemployment benefits. I think they do talk to your former employer though.

First off we need to know how long you were out on leave.  That's the main point.  If you passed the legal limit of protected time then there's nothing that prevents them from letting you go.  Second your employer has a right to keep in contact with you to determine if you are ready to go back to work.  Refusing to answer that can be grounds to be fired with cause.  Pain and suffering only comes into play if they did indeed let you go during a protected period, if they let you go after that period then again there's nothing that can be done and it would be considered with cause since you didn't show up to work.  These also only apply if you and your employer qualify under the FMLA.  If you don't qualify, then unless there's a state law in your state requiring leave then there is no legal reason for them to have had to "protected" your job.

If you quit a job you are not eligible for unemployment compensation.  Likewise if you are fired and your employer can prove gross misconduct or violation of company policy.  Once you are re-employed, you are no longer eligible as well.  If you are caught working for someone who is paying you cash, your benefits will stop and you will have to repay any money you received under unemployment benefits.  These are just a few of the circumstances that would alter your eligibility for benefits.  I'm sure there are others.

I've never heard of any hard law that requires employees to give two weeks notice when they're quitting. How many employers to you know give employees two weeks notice before firing them? =). \n\nSeriously, the two weeks is meant to be a courtesy to the employer affording them an opportunity to find someone to replace you. If you up and quit without any notice, you'll burn a bridge (they won't give you a favorable recommendation) and you'll leave them in a tough position.

First, I would not say that you were fired. You weren't, exactly. You resigned and as long as you kept a copy of that termination letter you gave them, you shouldn't doubt that part of it. It feels icky when you think you've been fired.\nThen, due to the fact that you did have a legitimate reason to be away from work (health, der) they should cut you a little slack. However, it can't hurt to say that you are willing to start from the bottom and work your way up. Subbing, etc. As long as you can have that chance, and get your foot in, you can build trust and show that you are a worthy hire.\nWhy wouldn't you hire you? You shouldn't think that either! Did you want this to happen to you? Wouldn't you want a break?\nThat's all you need now. A chance, a break.\nGood luck!

they can't fire you for an on the job injury regardless of how long you have been there, not only would you get unemployment if they did, but you would have a very strong case for a wrongfull termination lawsuit, in addition you sould seek punitive damages for the injury itself.

If you voluntarily leave a job, you will not be entitled to get unemployment...you must be asked to resign or terminated..your benefits will also be cut if you turn down a new job.

First, you must consult the laws in your jurisdiction, but generally a non-compete agreement must be limited in time and scope (so usually no more than two years, in a very restricted geographic area, and governing a limited type of competitive behavior).  The law would certainly frown on any situation where your employer fires you to put you out of the business, but if he had cause to fire you (particularly if the conduct alleged involved dishonesty or unethical behavior), a non-ambiguous and appropriately narrow non-compete agreement that is limited as to time and scope will be upheld.

Yes, sorry to say that they can.  It does not matter how long you have been with a company, if they change their requirements where you have to pass a test in order to stay employed then that is what you have to do.

It is a commonly held misconception that companies only have to give dates of employment when providing a reference. They cannot lie about you, but if they fired you for being drunk at work and peeing on your chair, they could tell your future employer that if they wanted to because it is the truth. \n\nA company can not give you a bad reference for leaving your job IF that is the only reason they would give you a bad reference. If you left with no notice they could note that to future employers. (Although it's really not fair that companies expect notice from its employees but can fire you on the spot without warning).\n\nThe company is also not legally bound to provide you with anything that is in your personnel file. \n\nOn a higher note, if that company is really that bad, chances are other employers in the area know about it, and they would believe you over them.

Give more than two week notice this gives them time to get a replacement for you. The boss will understand that your doing what's best for your career by leaving.
