If you quit can you ask your employer to say that you are fired so you can collect unemployment?

Well by asking your employer to "say you are fired" you are not only lying but also disqualifying yourself from unemployment benefits because being fired from your job is a bar to collecting unemployment. To qualify for unemployment insurance benefits, a worker must:
* Have worked a certain number of weeks during the year
* Have earned a certain amount of money in the past year
* Be actively looking for work
* Be unemployed through no fault of his own
Quitting without a valid reason or getting fired do not meet the above qualiications

It depends on the state you live in. For example, in RI, if you quit or are fired, you cannot collect for 8 weeks. In Florida which is called a 'right to work' state or 'at will' state.

Can employer fire you while you are out on medical leave having surgery and can that employer then tell unemployment that you quit so you cannot collect unemployment compensation?
If you are employed "at-will," which most people who work without employment contracts are, then yes, your employer can fire you at any time, for any reason. Your only recourse, aside from unemployment benefits, would be a possibility of lawsuit if your employer wrongfully terminated you, such as on the basis of disability discrimination.The employer "can" also tell the unemployment insurance office that you quit. It is in their best financial interest to prevent you from successfully claiming unemployment benefits, and in a hostile situation such as this, the employer will often lie and distort facts in order to make it appear that you either quit voluntarily, or were fired for misconduct--in other words, for something that was your fault, not theirs.However, if you did not quit, you can fight their denial and still get unemployment benefits. You'll need to gather all documentation regarding your medical leave, as well as educate yourself about your employer's claim (Why did they say you quit? What is their evidence?) and your best arguments against it. Employers in general don't have great track records winning against employees in unemployment claims when it comes to medical issues...and they are probably hoping that you won't know how to fight it, and will just give up.

Can you collect NY unemployment for quitting with no notice?
Notice, no notice, doesn't really matter. In most cases you're under no actual legal obligation to give notice, it's just considered a polite thing to do. It could affect your recommendations, if ex-employers still gave recommendations these days, which as a general rule they don't. What is important as regards unemployment is that you quit. That means being unemployed was your choice, and the rule of thumb here is that that means you don't get to collect unemployment. You can check with your state's unemployment office. If you quit because your employer was deliberately making your job miserable in order to force you to quit (note that you'll have to prove this, and you'll have to prove that this wasn't just "my boss made me do my job and my job sucks" but "), then that's called "constructive dismissal" and it's usually treated as far as unemployment is concerned as if you were fired, so that you might be able to collect unemployment.
