Can you be terminated from a job and the employer tell unemployment you quit voluntary?
In some cases, yes you can. If you were promised certain things that the employer didn't follow through with, then you may be elligible. For example, if you were told that you would be working 50 hours per week, but actually had to work 65 hours every week consistently, then that may be grounds for qualifying for unemployment. Another example: If you were told your pay would be increased by a specific amount after a 90 day trial period, and your work was satisfactory, but you did not get the increase in pay, then that may qualify you for unemployment benefits. Also, if the company practices unsafe procedures and forces you to do so against your will, then that may also be an allowable reason to draw unemployment.
Just keep in mind that when someone applies for unemployment benefits, the company that you are applying from almost always applies their right to contest it, but they don't always win when it goes before the ones that make the final decision. It all depends on so many factors that you need to contact your local unemployment office or your State Labor Board. The worst they can do is say no, and it doesn't cost anything to apply. And if it is denied, you can always appeal. Many cases are denied the first time, then approved when appealed.

Does your past employer pay for your unemployment benefits or are they contacted that you have filed for unemployment?
yes and no. it is required for an employer to pay a certain percentage of your unemployment, but most employers have unemployment insurance that pays the claim. so the employer just pays his premium. To receive unemployment, the state has to determine that you were laid off, voluntarily quit or fired from your job. So they contact the employer and question you to see the conditions of your termination. Lay offs usually immediately qualify unless the employer offered a voluntary lay off. Discharges or firings depend upon the situation as to whether you will be found eligible or not. Voluntary quits are harder to prove the situation was untenable but there are cases were you can be found eligible. Every situation is unique and treated as such.
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.
You were terminated for attendance can you draw unemployment in North Carolina?
You should check with your local unemployment office; but in almost all cases, if you are terminated for wrong doing or quit your job, you cannot collect unemployment.

That reduces your chance of collection unemployment dramatically.

Ostensibly, the reason for this is that if the self-employed individual is "out of business," then how could he pay his own unemployment benefits!Because of the last employer having to pay the weekly unemployment benefit checks, when a terminated individual files for benefits, the claim is forwarded to the employer who is allowed to challenge the claimant's eligibility to receive payment of the benefit.If the employer claims, and can prove, that the employee voluntarily quit, OR was FIRED FOR CAUSE, then the employer can "kill" the claim, preventing the need to have to pay the benefits, and thus preventing the ex-employee from receiving any payment.
