Just about a week . I lost my third appeal good luck to you

GOOD MORNING.HAS ANYONE NOT RECEIVED THEIR HEARING DATE FOR APPEAL?I NEVER RECEIVED ONE,I JUST HAPPENED TO CALL UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICE IN ROME,GA. AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD A DATE 2 DAYS LATER.

I wanted to find out if you can receive unemployment benefits based if you quit? Like if the supervisors were racist and yelled at you and belittled you in front of other employees and you quit, can you get unemployment? And lets say it went on for like a year.

Unfortunately, unless you had a co-worker or co-workers to back you up on this they will go with the employer everytime. Did you keep records on when this happened? I too went through the same situation and I lost!!! My situation was very ugly and the other co-workers were told if they said anything, they would lose their job. Good luck and wish you the best!

Most of the time, it appears that these hearing are a monumental waste of time. The hearing officers are going to side with the employers, who often are politically connected, and if they are a major employer, you can just forget it. Even when you have a racist unprofessional obnoxious management team, you get nowhere without witnesses, who are trembling in fear of losing their jobs if they dare speak up in support of an employee who has been unfairly dismissed. It's shameful that these people are allowed to get away with this, but that is what happens

Sometime I think the E.E.O.C. on there side now. This whole world is just falling apart. Just have faith and pray.

Yes, you can. I filed for unemployment after I quit and I was initially denied. However, I filed an appeal and I did win so, its possible. As Tina stated, you would need to prove your case and thats best done with coworker testimony, or any other type of written evidence you may still have.

No you can not get it unless you appeal the case and have some witness, testify for ypou but some will and some want because thinking of they might loss there job. But the truth don't hurt anyone. Good Lucky

Hey, Tammy. Usually, you'll get it after you claim the next week's unemployment benefits. If you've signed up for direct deposit either at a GA DOL center or online, you should have your money in your account no later than 2 days after your certification day. Just go online after you certify next week and click on the 'inquiry' link on the main certification page, put in your SSN and PIN. It should show the status as "$xxx.xx was forwarded to your account" for all of the weeks you've claimed. Once it states that, the money will be in your account within two to three days.

I was the office manager at a firm for 4 years. They hired in a new General Manager. He was very intimidated by my knowledge. He often criticized my work, etc. One day, he cut my pay by $4/hr. and gave it to another MALE EMPLOYEE who just started 6 wks before. I questioned him. He said we were "cutting back". I gave other means of saving the company money and he told me basically, Take it or Leave it! I told him I thought it was discriminating and told him I would think about it... saying "This is CRAP!" as I walked out -- at 5:15pm on a Friday afternoon. I received an email from him SUNDAY EVENING saying that I was on PAID Administrative Leave. He said he would let me know when to return back to work. I got an email Monday afternoon stating that I needed to be in the office at 9am on Tuesday. When I arrived, he said "I was really hoping you would've called me over the weekend"... then gave me my separation paper. I didn't read it until I was already home -- I was IN SHOCK! NO WRITE UPS IN OVER 4 YEARS! OH MY!!!! I read the papers after I stopped crying... it was for "GENERAL MISCONDUCT/ABUSIVE LANGUAGE" There were NO WITNESSES! Only me and him... he had even started off the meeting by telling me that it was "his" office now and that he could do whatever "he" wanted to do... He even chuckled and explained that he had been accused of sexual harrassment at his previous job, but it couldn't be proved.... INTIMIDATION!!! ANYWAY... I filed for unemployment benefits... I was DENIED. I have since requested an appeal... What do you think? Is this something I can win?? He totally lied about this! I never received any type of conference over my actions (yes, I cried too - but I've had major financial issues in the past year... ) Is crying considered misconduct? Is the word "CRAP" considered abusive language? Everyone at the office used the "f" word constantly... I didn't, but it's like he's saying I did! What do I need to do!? It's my word against his! How can I prove this?

Hey, Kengal

I honestly believe you can win. The worst they can tell you is 'no' but, it doesnt ever hurt to try. If you can prove, either with or without witnesses, that you quit for a good work related reason, which from what you've provided, is, I think you have a good chance. If you havent had any write-ups in over four years of employment with the company, subpoena the company for your employee records, if you feel your work record will be of good use to you during the appeal. If you have any email communication between the two of you, that will help, forward them to the Dept. of Labor Appeals Tribunal. Regardless if noone witnessed the conversation between you and him, do you know of any other people who, either are still employeed or not employed at the company, who can testify about his character? If so, ask them if they can be of witness during your appeal hearing. I think that would be helpful. Good luck!

I got employed through a temp agency in Jonesboro, GA in Jul 2010.... My assignment ended Oct 8th 2010... On that date I asked for another assignment... there was no more work available (unable to pay my rent I got put out of my apt and forced to move to Smyrna GA) so I filed for unemployment... I got denied because they were claiming that I didn’t ask for another assignment (and I did) so I filed for an appeal... I had the appeal hearing Dec. 7th 2010... They openly admitted that I DID indeed ask for work when my last assignment was over but I didn’t continue to ask for work on a weekly basis so my appeal was denied. I told the judge that I got put out of my apt and moved 30 40 miles away from the area so that the reason why I didn’t continue to call in...Through this 3 4 month period I have been looking for work at other temp agencies just not the 1 that I was working for between Jul&Oct... Should I have won this case???? Thank you for your time!

My husband had his interview on Friday and the next Friday he recieved his decision......in Ga

Greetings everyone,,I am new to this blog but I need some advise please. I won my first appeal hearing which my employer(Federal Govt)for 24.5 years did not show. They are claiming they thought it was a telephone hearing so they have appealed it again!
but the language the Human Resourses Specialist used was not professional at all. One of the statements was an appeal is warranted in order to ensure prudent use of taxpayer monies.
But before that this statement was made
Perhaps if this office was contacted, the electronic coordination would have clarified telephone versus in person.
SHE MADE THE COMMENT "OUR ONLY MEANS OF APPEAL APPEARANCE IS VIA TELECONFERENCE"
now when they start making the State of Georgia mind them. Sounds like the DOD is punishing them as well as myself. any recommendations??
thanks for any help anyone can provide

I never do this but I figured what the heck, Just got denied my appeal, have been unemployed since Nov week of thanksgiving to be exact. Had my hearing over the phone which was difficult to hear as it was on speaker phone and on my end I kept hearing an echo, which I mentioned and was told too bad it had to be on speaker, what ever...I am confused because they caught the employer in a lie during the hearing and when asked directly if he fired me he said "yes". When I got my letter it said he had proved his point, how! is my question and when. My employer does not even know when he fired me the paperwork was dated the week before, he lied about everything, did illegal activities at work, fired three of us in one day and said we all quit, we were not together either, I just cant believe it that they just lie, cuss at you which he did and I wrote down in my appeal letter, not have there facts straight, and still win...I am a transplant to GA from CA I love it here but I can tell you working here is tough unless you see eye to eye with the good old boys which I don't, I am a intelligent woman who comes from working in the corporate world to working here in small town jobs I am beginning to think decent employers are extinct here in GA...I don't know if I should appeal the appeal if I am just going to get another good old boy who will side with the good old redneck boss I use to have....

It,s hard here in Georgia that while things is so mess up. They will hire a young stud to do the job and things get so mess up , and the next thing you know the plant is close. Because they is faster and not respondsible not caring if it finish good or not. Management is very poor these day.

Unfortunately not if you did not contact the temp agency on a weekly basis.

You should appeal the appeal. I'm sure you've worked hard for your money, so fight for it. I had a telephone hearing also and it was hard to hear the hearing officer.
