Some details would be helpful.
It depends on what state you are in and what you did to get canned.
What state are you in?
I have experience here in Georgia.
My personal observations have been that if the company doesn’t want a person then the person shouldn’t want the company.
The amount of pain it takes with the minimal relief provided appears it would be more productively put into locating another employer.
I don’t know your situation, but the situations that I have seen where this pay off is with pensions and/or where the benefits were extremely good and you wanted to get these extended while you look for a new employer.
Look for another job, while this is going to be processed. If the employer did not break any laws, even if his firing you was unfair, there may not be much you can do. This things could take months, so I wouldn’t put much faith in having it resolved quickly.
I have found that once you just accept the termination and move on you will find yourself in a much better place!! Things happen for a reason SND it is time for you to better yourself!!
I was justifiably fired in the mid 90s, but learned that the Colorado UO was heavily weighted on the employee’s side. So, in hindsight, I would say something mng like “I really enjoyed this job and would have loved to stay, however, I’m very frustrated by the lack of competent training that’s required to succeed in such a position. They’ve wasted their time, my time, and now the money and time of the Unemployment Office.”
I was wrongfully terminated from a job. I went to an attorney. He agreed 100 percent. But he said realistically i was wasting my money. The other side would keep filing motions to run me out of money. Now if you are “of color, “ no problem as the government pays and they would settle out of court.
Why would you want to work for someone who doesn’t want you as an employee? Personally, I would never work for any company that required a drug test. I’ve never so much as smoked a cigarette, so why would I want to work for someone who thinks I’m a drug user? Find a company that would be glad to have you as an employee, then show them they’re lucky to have you.
I was terminated once in my life AND I ended up with the BEST job I had in my life, that job brought me to restaurant ownership and then to 3 restaurants!! The termination was the BEST thing that ever happened to me!!
Make sure you provide more detail when speaking to your lawyer.
Hire a lawyer that does a lot of labor law. Employment law has a lot fo employee protections — and fiscal recourse as well.
Is this a private corporation or a federal agency?
Big difference..all Fed agencies have policies covering EVERYTHING. If so Google the agency “ policies “ and that will tell you everything
If private companyn...Google termination laws/policies..there are federal laws re firing also.
Immediately file for unemployment.
If you mention you were terminated for any reason, that is fine. An investigation will send multiple letters to their lawyer, who will not want to get involved, meaning they actually laid you off and you will keep getting benefits.
Please try to post less detail. The info you provided is much too long and detailed.
Dude, don’t sue me. I *had* to let you go. You boinked my secretary, ON MY DESK, stole my personal laptop, bugged my office with microphones, and put peanut butter in the office coffee machine.
I HAD NO CHOICE.
It’d help if you were a black muslim homosexual with one eye.
