You can receive unemployment compensation and if they say you were guilty of "willful misconduct," it wasn't misconduct and it wasn't willful.

You may have other claims but a lot depends on what happens and what the reasons are. For now, take it one step at a time. When... View More

You would have an argument to make that you have a "necessitous and compelling reason." Much would depend on what "these conditions" are--are you near customers? Do you have a good facemask ? Do you have gloves? Do customers have hand sanitizer or gloves they are given? If you... View More

A lot depends on what is going on--a cut while you still work is different from a cut and you are furloughed. As to the note you need to look at the language of the agreement, any letters that discussed the terms etc.

The interesting question is if you are furloughed but on 1/3 pay can you... View More

You need to bill him for the work. Anyone can say anything. If you disagree I would simply respond "I disagree with your statements. Please pay the amount agreed on."

Keep a copy of all correspondence. If by email, download and print each item.

Yes, an employer can cut your salary without you agreeing to it. However, the employer is required to pay you a minimum salary of $684 per week. This law went into effect January 1, 2020.

They can get unemployement with no 5 day waiting. Hard to say if they have other rights as it's not clear why they were "off"---the fact that there is a pandemic doesn't get them off work if the workplace is legally open. But they should contact unemployment.

If he gets a negative test that should end it. They can't make him produce your records--that's silly. But assuming he wants his job......

Not sure why they'd want yours anyway. But they can't tell someone they can't work based on a third person's status.

Go file. No 5 day waiting. (however you may be able to get work with a grocery or drug store if you want to woerk).

You should retain an experienced employment law attorney to represent to at the hearing. If you are located in Pennsylvania we can assist.

Anyone can appeal anything. Doesn't mean they win. If the appeal is from the initial determination/examiners decision they can try to introduce evidence. If it's appealing a referee decision, they are stuck with the record.

Get a good lawyer. You dont give enough information for any other answer
