Legal Question in Employment Law in California
If I have a medical recommendation from a doctor to quit my job is this "Good Cause" to obtain unemployment?
I have been diagnosed with depression due my work environment. I do not believe that transferring positions will be possible and believe that even if transferred my condition will worsen. If I have a doctors recommendation for mental health reasons to quit do I still need to request another position to attain unemployment benefits?

If you quit you are not qualified to apply for unemployment. Since your mental condition is caused by your job , I recommend that you file a claim for worker's compensation benefits and apply for state disability . You need a doctor's certification. I can assist you to send you to a worker's compensation doctor. Feel free to call me at 213-388-7070 for a free consultation.
