And a paid vacation if you claim the unemployment. Not your regular rate but better than nothing.
You can claim unemployment whether you are fired or laid off.
And I thought actually “fired with cause” meant you couldn’t claim unemployment. But you can always claim the company is making up the cause, so no one ever challenges this.
There are even circumstances you can claim unemployment after you quit.
Not many circumstances. But they exist.
Yep, my wife argued and won for unemployment after quitting. Ended up being extended for 2 years because of the 2009 crash.
Reason, employer supported her to work from home for 6 months. Then management turnover happened and the new one mandated she return to the office. Since she stayed home the daycare situation had gone to shit and we couldn't find reasonable care that didn't cost her entire paycheck. She was forced to quit. Judge ruled it was a creative firing and she got unemployment.
Good to know.
I actually knew a guy who negotiated a severance package when he quit.
