Unemployment benefits are a means of temporary support should you lose your job through no fault of your own. There are a number of requirements that you must meet in order to obtain unemployment compensation, including:
Why would an employer want to prevent an employee from receiving unemployment compensation benefits? Employers oppose unemployment compensation claims because the more claims made against an employer, the higher the amount that the employer has to pay into the unemployment fund. Every employer is taxed at a rate that can increase based on the number of successful claims. For that reason, employers try to minimize the number of former employees receiving benefits.
Sometimes the reasons are personal as well. If an employer believes that an employee acted against the employer's interests and should not receive the benefit of unemployment compensation, the employer may protest the claim.
Employers are often presenting severance agreements and packages to former employees. These agreements alter many of the rights between an employer and employee, and signing such a severance agreement may significantly impact you. It is critical that you review any such agreement with an experienced employment law attorney to make sure you make the best possible choices in a difficult situation.
