Unemployment Benefits

 

State unemployment benefits laws are principally designed to help employees, not employers. So even minor mistakes can lead to rising employer unemployment contribution rates. Before starting the termination process, issues to be considered include what misconduct disqualifies an employee from eligibility for unemployment benefits, and how to deal with an employee who gives notice but is asked to leave immediately.
