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 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.

This may seem unfair, but if the worst happens and your child or your health is suffering, having this extra month left that qualifies for FMLA would be a blessing.\n\nUnder FMLA an employer only has to hold your job open for 12 weeks a year.  So if you take all 12 weeks for delivery/recovery/new baby bonding and then your child becomes ill, you are screwed and your company would not HAVE to keep your job open.\n\nAnd the government doesn't "give" us anything.  The FMLA allows us to keep our jobs while missing 12 weeks of work caring for ourselves, or another immediate family member if they need our help for medical reasons.  Your company has to qualify, and they don't have to pay you.\n\nIf your company is paying for 2 months be grateful, that's a lot better than the majority of Americans.

Being unemployed does not affect your status as a permanent resident. The only situation where you will be affected is when you break the law or evade taxes. So you are in good shape.

I'm no expert on Work Comp in OK (I do know they have some silly rules) but it would seem that they cannot stop your health insurance. You aren't on COBRA. You are still considered an employee and thus if the company pays for its employees health insurance then they must pay for your insurance regardless if you injured. Now, with that being said, what does your employee handbook say about leaves of absence. I would consult HR at your companay.

yes if you are laid off you can apply for unemployment, if they fire you, I am not sure but I don't think you can collect unemployment then. But I don't know for sure

You definitely have a case for unemployment, but the underlying question is "How do I get my job back?"\n\nLook at other circumstances surrounding the absence.   FMLA would have covered your absence, as long as you met the number of hours worked.   You need to find that out.   If there are other circumstances, like you failed to call off from work for two or three days before you showed up with the Dr's excuse...or perhaps had too many absenses prior to this one.   \n\nRegardless, you need to consult a lawyer with all of the facts.   He will advise you as to the proper recourse.   If you are uncomfortable with a lawyer, then you need to go through the Boeing appeal process, which is available through corporate Human Resources.   If they refuse that, make sure they refuse it in writing....and take that to the lawyer.\n\nGood luck, and I hope you feel better.   \n\nPS:  If you win, you will get back wages.

If you quit on your own - it is not likely that you're eligible for unemployment benefits.

Yes - you may now qualify for a partial disability payment that can continue until you are released to full duty.

It depends on the laws of the state you live in, the reasons you were discharged, and your former employers history.\nI live in GA. It is my practice to challenge every claim for unemployment. The overall rate I pay for workers compensation is based on the number of claims for unemployment that are made against me. \nCan you still aquire a clearence? Do you mean a security clearence? If you were discharged for being late, not likely. If you were discharged for smoking pot on company property, than yes. The results of some states unemployment claims hearing are treated the same as a court case and are a matter of public record. Some states it is nothing but a private insurance claim.

not if you are voluntarily leaving a job.  you have had to be layed off only.

the hospital question, no there are some prorams availible to help pay or to pay in full if you are really below income levels. unemployment: yes mostly but if you haven't found a job or got called back there is an emergency contingency.the question on poor people, yes we do and it is deplorable and heart wrenching. and for the last question,yes we do there doesn't seem to be much of a middle road. you either have money or you have to struggle with what you have.I hope this info helps

Generally not unless you have some contractual agreement.  Many states have what's called a "right to work" system which means that employers have the right to terminate your employment at anytime for any reason (as log it those reasons are not discriminatory).  On the flip side, the employee has the same right that they can leave at anytime with no foul.  A common example of this is when a woman leaves for maternity leave and enjoys benefits, like paid time off.  Then, at the end of the leave period she decides not to come back.  It happens all the time.  Employers generally don’t have much remedy here – and frankly it’s not good press to go after new mothers to try to recover anything.  As an employer I view this possibility as simply being a cost of business.  There are federal laws protecting pregnant women’s employment rights, so you have to give them leave and hope they come back. \n\nI would advise that you check out a couple of websites in your state if you live in the US.  Check out your state's government’s labor division - here in Texas it is called the Texas Workforce Commission.  Also check out your state's Attorney General's web page.    Both of these sites should have information specific to your area.  Also check out the US Department of Labor website – it has a lot of good information on your rights under the FMLA (federal medical leave act) as it defines employee rights and employer obligations under the law.\n\nGood luck.

"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.

No he does not. If you are requesting leave under the FMLA, he can only ask for a doctor's note certifying your illness as a "serious illness" that you cannot be at work for. Beyond that, he is invading your privacy.

You mean you were in a salaried position since you aren't paid for OT just 40hrs a week. If you and your employer qualify under FMLA you can request up to 12wks of UNPAID (or paid at THEIR discretion) leave. It doesn't have to be at one time. However it sounds like that's not really an option for you. Since you are requesting a new job you have to agree to the job or decide not to work. They have NO responsibilty for unemployment since it's not their actions causing you to leave work. Unemployment only comes in if your employer lets you go without reason (doesn't mean you have to be fired, just told we're letting you go because you can't fulfill the job requirements). Since you're the one causing the job action you thus do not qualify for unemployment. \n\nSeems they've offered you at least something, which is more then they have to. Remember they're not responsible for your actions. \n\nAlso note that for some benefit programs you must be working 20hrs/wk or at least searching for work and ready to take what becomes available.\n\nEDIT: To james, it's not illegal to pay for 40hrs/wk regardless of if you work more as long as it's a salaried position.  If she was just a front-line worker then yes it'd be illegal, but being salaried means you get 40hrs/wk regardless of if you work 38hrs or 60hrs as long as you come in each day.
