Posted: Wed May 19, 2004 6:13 am Post subject: Unemployment
I own a maid service in NY. One of my employees quit because she found a better job in another industry. I offered her a pay increase if she stayed. She declined. Then I receive a letter that she is filing for unemployment. I contacted my unemployment office to state she voluntarily quit for another job and they denied me. I think its unfair that I'm paying unemployment wages for an employee who voluntarily quits. I have appealed the decision. Any experience the same? Any helpful hints on how to appeal?
I guess the lesson from this is to communicate in writing. For example, insist that employees tender a resignation letter when they leave. If they refuse, don't accept the verbal resignation: invoke a proper disciplinary procedure regarding their conduct (eg: failure to attend work).
I was always under the impression the previous employer took precedence in determining firing or voluntary departure, but that is in Illinois - maybe it is different in your state. You may want to contact your attorney for review/advice. _________________ Freightgator Logistics Inc.

Most states use the "base period" to determine which employer to charge for the claim. The base period is the last 4 complete quarters. Any employers that paid the employee during those 4 quarters would be eligible for the charges. So if the person worked for 2 companies during that time then the two companies would split the charges. It really doesn't seem fair but that is how the laws in most states are written. The same thing would happen if someone came to work for you for one day and then quit. You would not be charged for the unemployment and the prior employer would receive the charges. Let me know if you have any other questions. _________________ JanetB
