The church is not the one that pays the unemployment benefits...it's the state in which the worker worrks. In addition, most states allow churches an exempt status, meaning they do not pay a payroll tax to the state, thereby the worker may not be entitled in the first place.
I do not believe that you can continue to collect unemployment if you refuse ANY legitimate offer of work.
South Carolina violates the first amendment by denying the unemployment benefits of appellant. They forced her to choose between her religious beliefs and forfeit unemployment benefits. The denial of employment compensation is directly relate to her religious beliefs that cause her to refuse to work on Saturday because she was the member of Seven day church. The reason of unemployment benefits denial was Sherbet was not available to work in Saturday where jobs were available for her. Faiza :)
If you refuse a job and the government finds out you can lose your unemployment entitlements.
Because each state's employment security office sets the standards for receiving unemployment, you have to check with your own regarding the issue of whether job supplied medical benefits can be considered by the applicant..
You can accept a part-time position, and still get partial unemployment benefits to make up the difference, until you can get a full time position.
I suppose you mean unemployment compensation. That is administered by the state you live in. The answer is never.
The way that an employer would refuse to give an employee a handbook is they are trying to with hold a benefit.
Most states allow a worker to quit and receive benefits if it was for good reason and connected to the job, which it appears to be the case here.
In most states, unemployment benefits will be refused if a job offer is refused by the applicant.Another answer:If you refuse a job offer for a good reason ( insufficient pay, hazardous, long commute, illegal business activities, etc.) the state will accept you refusal, as long as you comply with the rest of the state's requirements.
Yes. But if-when you apply for unemployment, eventually (may take months), the employer will likely contest the benefits and ultimately have to explain him-herself.
They cannot refuse "after-the-fact."
In this state, if you work part time, you do not get unemployment. If your employer wants you to take extended unpaid leave and you take it, you can get unemployment. You took leave because your boss asked you to. That choice is like, resign or I will fire you. If your boss will not hire you back immediately, this state gives you unemployment under those circumstances. If you refuse to take either option and you are fired, you can get unemployment. It is obvious that your boss is giving you the choice of take part time work or quit only is not putting it to you in quite those terms.
