Re: Did i get fired or did i guit?

I don't know, did you? Did you have a hearing with unemployment insurance or were you just informed that it was being denied. Also was there any severance attached with your leaving. Your chances of getting the job back are not good unless you had a contract or were in a union and filed a grievance. Also if you quit you have no rights as far as getting your job back or wiht respect to the contract, other than those you may have negotiated when you left.

What you would say on job applications depends on the circumstances, or you could leave that portion blank.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.
