Q: i was turned down for unemployment because i was fired for misconduct can I win my appeal?
a friend owed me money from an old debt. i tricked him to sending me the money because he forgot he owed it to me he sent me the money , then when i told him he was furious and sent two months of chat records to all of the banks top managment., what got me fired was i made a phone call to him from my work phone when he transfered money to my card. our boss always told us if it is slow as long as we dont have a customer we can do whatever on the phone and computer . (wihin reason) emploees play games,watch youtube. paybills on the phone or online., so i called this person to give them my bank card info so he coudl transfer money to me, and that is what got me fired,i should not be denied unemployment i broke no laws, I didnt even think i was breaking any rules, because i called him when we were slow and i had no customers.
A: Potentially. First, usually you have to be on notice that your job is on the line, such as a performance plan, due to little misconduct such as is alleged here. Secondly, you could also win if you can prove what you say as to there not really being a policy, or that the policy was as you say. Just be sure to get the appeal filed timely, which is as easy as calling the number and saying you want to appeal.
