Q: What does this mean when there is no period listed as disqualification? Do I need to file an appeal or get a lawyer?
"Discharge for Misconduct: You will be disqualified for the period indicated and the maximum amount of benefits to which you may become entitled after the disqualification period will be reduced."
Also, there was no misconduct on my side. I have the entire termination process recorded. He mentioned having to redirect me a few times, even though I knocked out a years worth of work in 2 months and I'm ADHD. I can send the recording to someone if need be to ensure my name and work ethic isn't tarnished, as well as, needing my unemployment to pay bills until I have another job. Heck, my ex-employer is recorded apologizing to me for his misconduct of cussing me before he fires me.
A:
An Alabama attorney could best advise, but you await a response for four weeks. From your description, this looks like a matter related to termination and eligibility for unemployment benefits. You could repost and add Employment Law as a category, or you could reach out to Alabama employment attorneys to discuss. Good luck
