Reply to comment by MizchiefKilz in Filing for Unemployment with Company that serially fires employees by marqui4me

We had to terminate employment for an employee and we documented it in a memo to the employee outlining where he was falling short and where he needed to improve. He signed the letter acknowledging he received it. We worked with him, but his attitude became worse and we ultimately terminated employment, but we documented why he was terminated.

The employee never filed for unemployment, so I’m not sure if it would have caused a denial, but the reasons were clearly documented

Depends entirely on the unemployment judge.

If the "cause" was performance based, I usually watched my company lose its appeal to unemployment for a variety of factors.

If the "cause" was behavioral and opened the company to possible litigation (such as harassment), then unemployment was always denied.

In these situations in my state, the judge is the deciding factor, not the company or applicant.
