Re: sexual harassment

You will need to oppose his claim to the Unemployment Department during the initial phone interview, telling them the facts of how he was fired for misconduct and sexual harassment, and caused the company to lose a contract. If Unemployment still allows him to receive benifits, you must appeal that decision, timely, and then go to the appeal hearing and tell the same story again. If you want to hire counsel to represent you in these matters, contact me to discuss.
