What are the key terms or words to avoid or use for unemployment appeals?

Unemployment appeals aren't that complicated.  To start it, all you have to do is hand write a letter with your vital information on it saying that you appeal the decision by unemployment, ie. "I appeal the decision made to deny my unemployment benefits....".  That's it to get the ball rolling.  If you can provide solid, pertinent information regarding the matter, then give it.  Otherwise, it's just that simple.

Just have copies of your performance reviews handy to show to prospective employers.\n\nTruth is, most employers (including government entities) will only confirm dates of employment and nothing else to avoid litigation.\n\nProvide references whom you know will give you a favorable reference.\n\nYou might have legal recourse if you can PROVE that the DNR on your city record has hindered you and that it was malicious but that can be exceedingly difficult.\n\nGood luck with your appeal to the Mayor!

You can ask in the Law & Ethics section of this forum. You can speak with an attorney. You can approach the wage and labour authority in your area. You can also approach your local unemployment office.

Contact the Indiana Employment Commission, get routed to the unemployment area and find out their answer. I'm pretty sure you cannot receive unemployment through them, anymore...

If you are talking about a place of employment, then I suggest you go and file for unemployment because your employer is closing.

In today's litigious society, I suggest you document, document, document. Make sure you have at least three reasons. If it is time clock related, it is time theft or an attendance issue, you can fire right away for the first but need to fit the latter to your companies policy for attendance. And so it goes, document everything, always have an answer for your reasons and make sure those reasons fit your companies policies.\n\nTo actually do the firing, take the person into a private space, bringing with you the next down in management or position that is of the same sex as the offender. This will protect you on so many levels. Then, start by stating the companies policy's that were broken and inform that person they "no longer have a job" with this company. I suggest you do this first thing when they come in or they will hear rumors. Be prepared for outbursts of anger or denial and maintain your cool. Hold to the facts and if the person yells or raises Cain, inform them they will be escorted to their locker to collect their things (or where ever their things are) and walk with them to the door. \n\nFiring someone has to have really good back up because they will 9 times out of  10 file for unemployment which costs your company money. Save the money and your raises will be a bit easier for the company.

Wrong the unemployment numbers reflect those who have successfully filled for benefits & do not get disqualified during all the hoop jumping etc. You can report all you want that will not put you in the unemployment statistics.

It depends on the reason.. \nIf you stole from the company, most likely you will not get unemployment.... \nIf you missed a lot of work.. IT depends on your reason for missing work.. they will investigate that.. \nIf you made a few mistakes.. most likely you will get unemployment, because mistakes are mistakes, everyone makes them..\nIf you sexually harassed someone.. there will be an investigation.. \nreally all depends on what you did.

Well, if the facts are as you've described you should consult an attorney regarding the filing of a wrongful termination suit.  Of course, if the company can't pay its bills what's the point?\n\nFile for unemployment -- if your former employer is stupid enough to contest appeal to the Labor Relations board in your state/community -- and find a better job.

Your first step should be to file for unemployment. If you win your claim, your unemployment wages are paid by the company that fired you. It sounds like you have worked there long enough to qualify. You should also talk to all the other employees who were there that day who witnessed these events. Get written statements from them confirming what happened. You should even talk to the first waitress who refused the table, let her know you are not trying to get her in trouble but rather the manager, and let them all know that it is important that they be as detailed as possible in what they remember. The fact that you swore at your manager is probably not a good thing, but in my experience you are most likely to get the unemployment if you give them all the details.\n\nNow, if you do get the unemployment, the fact that the store now has to pay you even though you aren't working might make them reconsider giving you your job back, to save money.\n\nAs far as getting your manager in trouble, your best option there is probably to go to the regional or district manager. If you can't find contact information for this person at the store, you could try calling Denny's customer support at 1-800-733-6697. Ask them to direct you to the Human Resources department. Before you do this, again get all the support from your coworkers to back you up on this.\n\nFinally, for every one of these situations, it would be in your benefit to talk to an attorney, to know where the law is on your side. A good resource for this is Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., they are well-equipped to handle situations like this.

are you drawing unemployment? if so it'll be easy for them to find out if you're lying.  The crime though... no crime until you sign at the bottom of an application stating you verify that everything within the application that you wrote is true to the best of your knowledge. it can be a felony but most likely a misdemeanor if they really wanted to try and hit you with the book... most companies don't though it's a waste of their time. but you surely wont get the job if they do find out. if you haven't been drawing unemployment just say self employed. don't ask your old HR to lie for you... they may say that they would do it and then tell the new company that you are lying and asked them to cover up for you... think about it.

I was an HR Director for about 10 years, although in California and Texas, not Washington. Anyhow, it's been a while, but here goes... Technically you were insubordinate and it is likely that the unemployment officer who officiates over the phone hearing will not believe that you meant anything else by saying d*ck in an e-mail (about someone who I presume is your boss). That said, I am wondering if they actually have your signature on anything that says that you are aware that "they" (your employer) have the right to read and monitor electronic mailings sent by you. Unless they (or you since you were the office manager) are very organized they may have trouble coming up with this paperwork. They need this in order to read your electronic communications and I would bring this up to the officer unless you know for sure that they have it and can easily access it. Also, I am wondering if there is any defense you might have with regards to why you said it or the context in which it was said. Additionally, has there ever been a time that you are aware of when "they" may have set a different precedent by not firing/terming someone based on this sort of insubordination? In other words, where someone else called  a manager a name of sorts, but were either not disciplined or disciplined without termination. I also have to wonder why your employer was able to read this e-mail (did someone show it to him or did you leave your computer on) and why he bothered to log on to your computer if that's what he did? Typically, I wouldn't do this unless I had it in for the person and usually that would mean a series of write ups (I'm a GM/PM now so I still have a number of reports and remember my HR days well). Unfortunately, most companies have a policy saying that they can terminate with no notice based on certain acts, one of which is insubordination. Still, I agree with you that he sounds like a jerk if this is all he had. He would have done better to call you in and find out why you felt like that, thereby trying to find a fix for the situation and gaining your loyalty if he succeeded. Good luck!
