At an unemployment appeal hearing, does the other party have to share all information they will use?

Yes.  You will receive it in the mail.

I would think it would depend on whether it was "you as employee" or "you as yourself".  Ethically, any personal notes should be deleted or forwarded.  Obviously, it is technically possible.  I imagine you would be on shaky legal ground regarding use of employer's resources for your personal business.  That's just me.  I am not a lawyer.

Contact the unemployment office.

Absolutely. They have the right to make sure that you aren't passing insider information about the company. I have one, but I do not give my last name, nor do I post any information that can say what company I work for, so they can't come at me for giving away information.

It should say something to the effect\nTo Whom it May concern:\nI, so and so, the mother of so and so, provide what i can for her for the time being while she is the state of unemployment. I give her X amount of money as needed for whatever.\n\nSign moms name here.\n\nIt would also be good for your mother's contact number to be on there although they never use it.

It is against the law for a former employer to tell a prospective employer ANY false information.  Most of the time, they are only allowed to confirm your title, pay rate, and if you quit or got fired.\n\nSo relax, find another job, then leave yours without worry.

City employees may discuss file contents only to process them and to place them in the right place and to track them.  None of the information can be shared outside of the work place.  Information is provided on a "Need to know basis" this is a "Legal" basis which does not violate privacy rights. If an employee is known to have shared private/sensitive information illegally, serious consequences are possible, including jail.

You should be able to contact the Human Resources office of your old employer, assumint they are still in business.  Considering that it was your plan, you are entitled to the information within.

You have asked two different questions:  \n\n1) Prior employers are allowed to say anything they want.  Often they choose not to, out of fear of being sued either by the ex-employee if he isn't hired, or by the new employer, if he is hired and does a bad job.  But there is no law against providing information, and no liability if the information can be shown to be truthful.\n\n2) It is likely that your husband is being discriminated against because of his age.  Employers in general like younger employees, and in the tech field in particular.  But if his potential employers know he was fired, that is also a reason he may not be getting another job.\n\nIt is hard to prove and win an age discrimination suit, and filing one is a sure way not to get hired in the field.  It may be a little easier to sue a former employer than a potential one, so if he has an argument that his previous employer fired him because of his age (was he replaced by a younger person, have they hired any older people, did they have solid other reasons for firing him?) you might want to pursue that.\n\nIt is a tough situation, looking for a job when you are older.

Check with local unemployment office.  Not sure company would have to provide this.

If you lose you will not collect.  Also will depend on why this is your "former" employer.  It will probably take place over the phone.

I don't believe they can. The court should be sending a notification to your employer regarding the garnishment, how much, and where to send it, but No, I don't believe it is legal for your HR Department to send out any personal information on you to anyone.

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.

If the information is not cumulative on your pay stubs, then yes your employer has to provide the information when requested.

Generally, no.  However, I had a girlfriend who quit and won unemployment because she proved that her employer overworked her and caused her health problems.  Her proof was that it took 3 people to replace her at her job.  Do you think your employer would need to hire three people to replace you?  Otherwise, you probably don't have a leg to stand on.  Furthermore, my girlfriend didn't win right away -- had to go through appeals and it took almost a year.  Can you live a year without income to fight unemployment?  \n\nI recommend getting a new job, then quit.

It depends on how much hassle you want to go through. If you are worried about future job references,legally all an employer can say is when you worked and what your wage was. It doesn't matter what is written down. I'm not sure if you can file a grievance as an ex-employee but your work should have some system to deal with termination disputes. You have to decide what you hope to get out of your grievance and whether it would be worth your time.
