Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Whether to appeal the decision is your choice - we don't know all the facts. It does not hurt to appeal in the internal procedures since you can do that yourself and have a hearing officer hear both sides. Otherwise, an appeal to the court takes time and most likely a lawyer. Paying a lawyer will cost a significant amount of money, and even if you win you have to pay the lawyer.

If you were terminated for missing work due to medical reasons and you complied with your employer's notice procedures, you should be entitled to unemployment. You have a short deadline to appeal the initial denial. I would highly recommend that you appeal and that you retain an attorney to assist you, if you can afford to do so.
