Re: ''lying boss''
I received your question on 4/2/2001. My initial comments, which are provided for informational purposes only, are as follows:
Under New York law, you have the right to request a hearing within twenty days of receipt of the notice that your unemployment benefits have been terminated. The notice that you received should indicate that you have this right. At the hearing, you will have the opportunity to testify before an administrative law judge who will then make a determination as to whether your benefits were properly terminated. Presumably, he will base this determination in part on his weighing the relative credibility of your story against the credibility of your former boss.
I hope this information is helpful; good luck.
