Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

Employer Lied To Unemployment
My employer had hinted to me for a couple of weeks that she needed to cut corners in her new business because it was costing her more than she thought it would. I was her highest paid employee as I was her manager. She called me at home and told me that she had to lay me off until she could feel comfortable in paying me my hourly wage. She kept her 2 part time cashiers though. When I applied for unemployment they denide me because my employer told them I was a no call no show and she fired me. Well that is not true and I have 2 witnesses that heard both ends of our conversation when she told me she to Lay Me Off due to her cutting corners and she would call me back when she felt she could pay a manager's wage. I filed for a hearing. What do I do now? She completely lied and to them about me and I want to expose her for the liar she is. Does my case stand a chance? The truth must be told to unemployment.

Re: Employer Lied To Unemployment

You have to file an appeal from the denial of unemployment. The notice you received tells you how on the back, and there is a short time limit

so do it immediately.

I have a client that had a similar situation; it was part of a larger pattern of harassment though. Did you have any difficulties with the employer?
