Ummm... Get a job and you wouldn't have to worry about unemployment... You had SIX YEARS to get a new one.

I would say that you are not.  Unemployment benefits are for those who were wrongly fired or laid-off.  It is meant to serve as a safety net for those at or near poverty level.  Hopefully you did some planning by saving some money to hold you over until you find your new job.  Good luck!

I'm presuming you are from Canada, since Employment Insurance is common here. \n\nEmployment Insurance is a program run by your provincial government. If you lose your job, depending on the circumstances, you can apply for unemployment benefits. These benefits will be paid to you until you find another job or the benefit period expires. Most provinces will pay unemployment benefits for 1 year maximum. At that point, you would have to apply for other kinds of social assistance in order to keep getting money from the government. \n\nIf you are never out of work, you don't ever collect. So, you don't "get your money back".

Oh you are so screwed.  You just put in a 6 week notice at your current job.  Your boss is going to either look for your replacement, or look to get rid of your position and you agreed to stay and let her do that to you.\n\nI know you think your boss is your friend and that she would never do this to you.  But her duty is to the company and she is doing what is best for her company.\n\nRarely, and I emphasize rarely, do counter offers ever work out well for the employee that stays.   By looking for, and finding, another job you let your current boss know that you are going to leave eventually, and you are not dedicated to the company.   Workers that are looked at in those ways never get raises or promotions and end up very unhappy and unemployed.\n\nGood luck to you, you're going to need it.

Going back to your contract, you said it doesn't mention a method of resignation, but you didn't say if the contract states if you're required to be there x amount of time.  Pour over it very carefully.  We cannot give you a definitive answer without actually knowing every word in your contract, so it wouldn't matter if someone who answered was familiar with the law or not.\n\nAs far as walking in and quitting tomorrow, it's simply just poor business etiquette to not give an employer any notice of resignation.  It only makes you look bad, especially for any future references.  Any decent new employer would respect the fact that you need to give notice to your current employer.

"until you can get a new job" implies you had a job. Unemployment is just for this. You Work you pay the insurance, now you need to take some benefits from all that money you paid. It is paid weekly and you have to be looking for a job. If you worked under the table then you can't do it, along with some other requirements that you will have to answer questions about to make sure you qualify.

It really depends on the state that you're in and individual circumstances.  You should go to your state's employment department website.\n\nSpeaking for California, I know it matters how long you were employed, if you were fired or laid off.  There are limits as to how long you can collect unemployment.\n\nAgain, your best source will be your state's employment department website.

The only way to tell for sure is to contact the Ohio unemployment office. Check their web site, I included a link below try looking there.

document document document!! everything and go to your cities labour board. ( in Canada) They will start a claim on your behalf and investigate and should you need a lawyer they can provide one for you as well (not sure if its free or a nominal fee) but talk to them first they really are there to help employees. also get all your pay stubs in order and your record of employment they will need to see them and any witnesses you might have. If they decide in your favour they will come after your employer for unpaid wages, holiday pay severance pay etc. they can garnish the accounts for you once you get the labour board involved im sure you employer will come to their senses and pay up. Send in writing to your employer a formal request for all sums owed to you keep a copy for yourself date it make sure you give that to your case worker as well. g/l

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.

Since unemployment is all done by phone now you can probably just call.  If it's not automated in your state, then go in and check.

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.

It is called layoff and recall I do not know if they are required to do it but this paperwork may help you get unemployment or other assistance

state laws vary so check with your local unemployment office or dept of labor web site. if you initiate the separation (by asking for a lay off), that is considered a quit. if you quit for a personal reason (such as school or you just don't like it), you may not receive benefits. if your doctor tells you to leave the job for health reasons, you may be eligible if you quit because you are leaving for good cause attributable to the work. if you are going to school, you may not be eligible for benefits because you must be able, available and actively seeking work - unless you are in approved training and you get a work search waiver. good luck.

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 a union member? If so, check with them first. They should handle it for you. If not, there are some things you should consider. Are you really well enought to go back? If you aren't you will need a doctor's note saying that. If you now are and the human resource department says the 1st shift is the only time available talk to a lawyer. He or she may be able to work something out with a simple phone call. Good luck.
