In Reply to: When do you file for unemployment? - Nowork

A man quit at my husband's trucking company and then filed for unemployment. He told them there was not enough work. There was plenty of work, he just wanted to quit. He actually got the paid unemployment. It cost us a lot of money, and now he will only hire ICs. It was really unfair because the man quit. He was having trouble in his marriage and his wife wanted him to be home. So that's what he did. He quit and lived off the unemployment checks for 6 months or more. It doesn't hurt to check into it. It seems like if he could get it, you would be likely to qualify. Two weeks is a long time to go without work. Good luck!

I would get fired.. you would qualify for unemployement. If you quit, then you would not qualify..
As far as using them a reference, I would not worry about that.. From my experience, I have hardly had any potential employers check my references or when they did I just gave them the heads up about my version of what happened. Most are thankful of the honest as not every company is a fit for everyone. I doubt that would hold it against you.

Please qualify that statement..have you ever used DQS?sm
just tell me please before I jump into another rediculous platform full of demo screens to wade through before actual transcription.

I probably don't qualify to post

because I have yet to do VR. However, my neighbor is working for a local clinic as an IC and she loves it.

However, from reading this board, what I pick up and I may clearly be off base but if you work for a good company VR is okay but a lot of places it seems are letting people use it that don't need to be using it and they are having to retype the report for half the pay.

Basically what it boils down to is who you work for.

Do not need FT status to qualify for UE - sm

They go according to work you have DONE in the past 52 weeks rather than what you were promised. In my state, must have worked at least 20 week during last 52 weeks, earning $80.00 or more (may be $90 by now, data is couple of years back). I don't think 1 day of no work would qualify, either. Here there is a waiting period of 1 week - benefits start second week of unemployment. So easy for employer to manipulate.

What DOES qualify though, as well, is a SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION in salary or hours originally agreed upon, not being paid at least minimum wage, and given title/job duties different from what originally hired for.

After my last 2 checks from Transcend, I now can qualify
to get food stamps and some living assistance. Sure hope the big guys in the company - all those new bosses they hired - are getting the same big pay cuts and low wages, but you can be sure the only thing they are doing is getting bigger backsides from sitting around sending out lies about how great this program is and how much they are doing to help us. Larry, you need to get your act together and tell the truth for once. You are not doing a d****ed thing to help anyone but yourself.

You still qualify for holiday pay as long as you sm
tried to work and have NSA messages. Ask your STM, just to verify. S/he should tell you that you'll still get the holiday pay b/c it isn't your fault that you're out of work.

Anyone switching from IC to FT for MQ - qualify for sign on bonus? (nm)

Depending on the reason you may not qualify for unemployment...sm
If an employer has good grounds for dismissal then unemployment won't be awarded.

Can you tell me how long you have to wait before you qualify for insurance?
Thanks, and can I ask how many lines you do weekly (average) on their accounts? I noticed it has varied for me among diffent companies.

Do all MTSOs require 39+ hours to qualify for
nm

Nope, not a catch. The only thing you need to do to qualify I think is have been there one year in
to be eligible. They pay like four weeks at full pay (your average weekly earnings) or eight weeks at half pay. Your choice. They strongly believe that it's the right thing to do.

Does anyone know how long it takes before you qualify for insurance at Keystrokes? nm
