Normally your unemployment must be by "no fault of your own", meaning if you get laid off or your plant closes you may collect. However, if you quit for "justifiable reasons", as described in your own state's unemployment laws, you may be eligible

Typically an employee taking a leave of absence is not allowed to collect unemployment. These decisions are made by your state's unemployment office, and it doesn't hurt to apply. Laws vary by state and your particular circumstances (illness, mental health, rehab) may help your case.

This is a difficult question without a definite answer, but basically this is how it works. If the employer cuts your pay to cause the job to no longer be suitable for you, and that is how it going to be from here on out, then your quitting would be held with good cause. If you quit, you must show that you quit with "with good cause" and good cause is when the employer changes the conditions of hire. With the economy as it is, you want to think things out before you just up and quit.

Although this is a quit issue, there are many factors involved in a suitable job issue. .

If you were fired for your own behavior (i.e theft, misconduct, drugs, harassment, etc.), then you generally are not entitled to unemployment. Each state has its own criteria for acceptable reasons for discharge and you need to check with your own state's unemployment office.

Another answer:Merely being fired does not mean it was justifiable from the employer's point of view. When you file your claim, the state's investigator checks out both the employee's and employer's stories to arrive at the fact of the matter. If the firing was through no fault of your own, the state generally allows the benefits.

Yes, in most cases the state will determine that your quitting was justified due to changes in the working conditions you hired on for. As each state sets its own requirements, check with your state's employment security office for clarification
