No, they can appeal but why would they wast their time unless you piss them off then it would look like retaliation, get your employer to promise employment for future guaranteed in writing.

Same job/position then you be safe.

If not unemployment is yours.

Absolutely! If you were terminated for any justifiable cause, it is possible for your employer to explain why you should not get this money. It is actually the responsibility and duty of your ex-employer to explain to your state why you were terminated.

You have certain rights also. You can explain your side of the issue and allow the State to make the final decision.

It should be stressed here that your employer does not pay your unemployment compensation directly. Employers pay into a pool every week and this pool pays out for your compensation during your unemployment. There really is no vested interest for your employer, other than what is withdrawn from the pool and the record of terminations, to keep you from getting unemployment insurance.

Valid reasons for unemployment compensation include lack of work, etc. Reasons for denying claims against this insurance are illegal activity or gross negligence on the part of the employee.

Another perspective:Your former employer has every reason to dispute your claim of unemployment benefits. Every claim is potentially reviewed by the state labor board. This does vary to some degree by state, but the process is essentially the same. While employers do pay into the pool, and the pool pays a portion of your benefits, the amount drawn from that pool varies depending on the reason for your discharge. If, for example you were laid off due to lack of work or other economic reasons, no harm no foul; a minimal or standard amount will be drawn from the pool. If however you were later terminated for some situation of which your employer was aware when you were hired, then the pool pays a greater portion of your benefits. If you were terminated say because you refused to submit to your employer's inappropriate advances, he could be required to pay the full amount of your benefits. So, the employer doeshave an interest in disputing claims.

An employer does not need to respond to unemployment agency investigators for you to get unemployment. It's only when they answer in the negative that you might have difficulty getting your benefits, if they can prove their case.

If you are fired from your job and you legally and fairly begin to draw unemployment can that employer call you at home and demand that you get off unemployment?

No, the employer cannot call you at home to demand that you get off unemployment. When you begin drawing unemployment, the employer does not pay directly - there is a fund in which employer deposits are being placed and that fund is where the unemployment payment comes out - nothing to do with your ex-employer. If your ex-employer is harassing you; however, you should call the police and BBB.

Does paying out unemployment insurance to a former employee increase the unemployment taxes for the employer?

The employer does not pay to the former employee. The employer pays unemployment taxes to the state he does business in, and the state, in turn, pays the benefits to the unemployed worker. If the employer has a large enough labor turn over, the state will raise his tax percentage payable accordingly.
