Can I get unemployment benefits if I quit because hours reduced & hostility
Question Posted Thursday January 28 2021, 8:03 am
I quit my job because my hours were reduced and the environment was extremely hostile. When I called in to apply for benefits, they told me that I was eligible because my hours were reduced. My employer responded back with lies that got me disqualified. I filed an appeal.
I feel like I am qualified because I would work my butt off only to be sent home after 30 minutes, wasting my gas. My clients loved me working for them, but my supervisor would create drama, lie and send me home. It started affecting me emotionally and I already have anxiety so I quit.
The supervisor would also tell my clients that I’m on drugs, I will steal from them and that she didn’t like African Americans.
She also told the clients that I was adding charges onto their accounts, which is a lie & stealing.
Do I have a case against the employer?

I would have stayed longer part time if only it wasn't so hostile and most of hostility was from the owner of the small business. I was one of only 5 staff. I tried to get unemployment and what happened was unemployment calling me and my employer in and asked us questions while taping what we answered. they tend to go with what an employer says. I don't know if its changed with time or if different in any states, so you're best off calling and asking unemployment if you'd even qualify. Doesn't feel fair, I know, but thats the way things are set up. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
