Subject: Temps Can Collect Unemployment |
|

Yes Virginia, You Can Collect Unemployment.
Temps are considered employees of the agency they work for and therefore CAN collect unemployment when they don't work.
The first week you don't work is a qualifying week.
The current highest rate for unemployment in NYC is about $365.00 per week. You must have worked 20 of the previous 52 weeks.
If your assignment ends and you don't get any other work, it is a good idea to register. You never know if there could be a week or two around the holidays in which there may not be work. You can collect even if your work one or two days in the week as long as you make less than about $360 in the week. If you register in Jan and don't collect (because you get work) you are still qualified to receive a check for a year, so if in December you don't work a week, all you have to do is call in and they send you a check in the mail.

This agency will screw you totally if you apply for Unemployment. They will say they offered you work, hire an agency called U.I. (Pros who do nothing but this) then you'll go before a NYC board where the judges see these U.I. guys several times a day and you'll definitely loose and be forced to give back your entire unemployment unjustly. (--- Poster related bad experience with recruiter named Maruska).

Subject: Malicious Employer Interfers with Unemployment Application |
|

First of all, the State uses money that is paid into unemployment and not collected as revenue. So, since most people don't collect unemployement, unemployment is really just a tax.
While it is argued that the administrative judges are impartial, they are (from our observation) on the payroll of the Department of Labor. They are also not very smart.
This said ...
Your eligibility for unemployment is based on YOUR LAST employer. DO NOT FILE for unemployment if your last employer is a jerk, if you know that they will maliciously interfer with your application or if you were fired from your last job. Hold out long as you can and take temp jobs and file for unemployment ONLY when your separation from employment is due to lack of work and when you know that the employer will be honest about the reasons for your unemployment.
A decision to deny you unempoyment is appealable to the UI appeals board and then to the courts. Even if you are denied unemployment, you need only then work a certain amount of time to satisfy a penality phase in order to file for unemployment again.

Hi, I'm writing on behalf of my mother, she worked this past summer for a company in the city, she worked for a maintenance company. She's been out of work for like almost 5 months now. They told her that they would call her back soon. I was wondering if it would be a good idea for her to file for unemployment. Some people say that if one of their workers do this then, it seems that they only want to collect money and not work for the company and therefore, the company will not hire them or call them back. Is this true? What do you think my mom should do? Thanks!

HI, This is quite disturbing! I was "let go" just short of a 90 day trial period for management. I was not given a specific reason. I was told by the GM that she was not at liberty to say and that it (I) was not a "fit". There was no documentation, or written termination papers, etc. This has never happend to me before. Should I be concernd that if I file for Unemployment, that they could come back with somekind of issue I know nothing about, or something that may not even be true? If possible please respond asap, I need to file now if it's the right thing to do. Thank you.

You can appeal the denial of unemployment.
If a company is afraid that you might sue them for discrimination, the company will try to use unemployment to get a judgment against you (because companies know that it is much easier for them to win at an unemployment hearing that in court).
The good news is that you can appeal the denial of UI and effective tie up the issue for more than three years. If you can't afford an attorney, there some some non-profit orgs which will help

NY State has apparently changed its application process for unemployment. Now when you go to the office and say you want
to register they hand you some papers with instructions on how to register over the telephone.
The documentation says, inter alia:
Before placing this call, have the following available:
1. Your Social Security number
2. Your New York State driver's license or Motor Vehicle ID card number if you have one.
3. Your mailing address and zip code.
4. A Telephone number where you can be contacted for additional information.
5. Your alien registration card number, if you have one.
6. The names and addresses of all employers for whom you've worked within the last 18 months, including those in another
state.
7. Your total gross earnings (pay stubs, W2 forms, etc.) for each of your employers during the last 18 months.
8. Your copies of forms SF8 and SF 50, if you had federal employment within the last 18 months.
9. Your copy of your most recent separation form DD 214, if you are an ex-service member claiming benefits based on your
military service.
To file a claim call 352-2631
