Can you be rejected for unemployment for being tardy for work?

Being tardy for work alone is unlikely to be a reason for being rejected for unemployment benefits. Generally, unemployment benefits are denied if you were terminated for misconduct or if you voluntarily resigned without good cause. Tardiness may be considered misconduct if it is a repeated and willful disregard of your employer's rules and expectations. However, a single instance of being tardy is unlikely to be considered misconduct severe enough to justify denial of unemployment benefits.

Can you collect unemployment if you signed a paper under stress?

whether or not one is eligible for unemployment one depends upon the set of law and codes for the state in which the worker resides. a sure way to possibly not be eligible would be to commit what's known as "willful misconduct". a litmus test would be "did the employer bring to your attention the misconduct you would might have committed?" eg. had you been previously written up for the alleged misconduct? eg. letters in personnel file for being tardy...


I wasn't offered the Family Medical Leave Act when I became sick at work and was forced to take a week vacation. I was later fired after being late due to being sick. Can I receive unemployment?

More information is needed to answer this question. But it appears your question has nothing to do with leave and it sounds like you were fired after you returned to work from leave due to being late. Assuming this to be the case, then the answer of course depends on your State's law, but in general I would say no. You being late would probably be considered misconduct (a violation of a reasonable policy your employer has the right to expect from you). This would be a reason for denial of unemployment.

Can you get unemployment if you were fired after working 3 weeks in California?

According to the Employment Development Department, you are only eligible for unemployment if you are unemployed "through no fault of your own." If you were fired for gross misconduct, your termination is probably your "fault." Note that gross misconduct has to be something serious, like stealing or putting the company in jeopardy. If you were simply fired for being lazy, incompetent, stupid, etc., that generally does not count as a fault of your own. However, you should file for unemployment benefits - or contact the unemployment agency - anyway as they will review each case individually. There is no downside to filing unemployment (do know that they will notify your most recent employer) and the worst that can happen is that they will say "no"! If they say no, you can still appeal. See the Related Link below for more information.


Can you collect unemployment in Texas if you get fired?

You are usually eligible to receive unemployment benefits even if you were fired so long as you were not fired for "gross misconduct," the definition of which is determined by the state unemployment agency and seems, in Texas, to include "work-related misconduct, neglect, or mismanagement" according to a Texas Unemployment website (see "Related Links"). You have nothing to lose by filing for unemployment benefits and should do so right away. Include all pertinent information so the unemployment agency has as much information as possible. They will contact your previous employer and will allow you to dispute anything your employer says, but make sure you are being honest and have documented the situation well.
