Whether or not you can collect unemployment if you are paid based on commission will depend on if you are an employee or an independent contractor. Your local unemployment office can help you to determine if you are eligible.
No. This is part of the reason employers hire workers either as independent contractors or on 100 percent commission. If you were a true employee, they could control your pay, hours, working conditions, hours, etc. and be liable if you were let go through no fault of your own. This way they are not required by the state to pay unemployment taxes like employers who hire people for the "normal" reasons, and the state, who pays out of the unemployment 'pool' does not pay you unemployment.
Each state requires that you report any gross earnings you receive while getting unemployment compensation. Whether you receive any benefits each week depends on what your gross earnings were for that week, as the compensation will be offset by your earnings.
Apparently not, if the work falls under the description of "The 2008 Florida Statutes" - 443.1216 Employment (13)(u) in the Related Link below.
Not if it is 100 % commission. Benefits are based, among other things, on your wages earned, not commissions.
Unfortunately, no. It is one of the common dis-qualifiers - commission only income earners.
No, because the states only consider wage earners, not those paid by commission.
No. State regulations will exclude people paid by commission from unemployment benefits.
This would depend on the state you were employed in and whether the job was commission only, as many sales jobs are. Usually, commission paid work is not eligible for benefits.
No. You can only collect from the state that your employer paid his unemployment taxes to, the "liable" state.
Generally, Realtors do not qualify for unemployment because they are in a class of 'independent contractors' who are on a commission paid basis instead of wages. Most state disallow this category, so the Realtor couldn't collect because of that and because he had a regular job.
You can only collect unemployment benefits from the "liable state", where the employer paid unemployment taxes, so Missouri would not pay you benefits, as you described it.
Usually, teachers are paid a salary and cannot collect unemployment between school terms, but you can check with your unemployment office. If you are paid hourly, it might be possible to collect benefits. Again, check with your unemployment office or ask the school administrators if it is possible to collect unemployment. The school can probably tell you. Another answer: I doubt it, but call or email your unemployment department. I am a retired teacher who subs during the school year and tried to collect unemployment in the summer. They paid me, but then decided that I didn't earn it so I had to pay it back. There is a law that has been passed that prohibits teachers from unemployment, but I am not sure if this a federal law or state.
No students are not employed. You can only collect unemployment if you actually worked enough weeks at a job to have paid unemployment compensation.
You can collect unemployment only if you qualify under state law - you have no income and you are actively seeking work, and you were not fired for a disqualifying reason.
You can not collect unemployment if you are retired or working.
10 year's
Yes, if he qualifies under all the rest of his state's unemployment requirements. It's the employee who is an independent contractor or paid only on commission that is out of luck.
No. If you earned wages..you earned wages.
