Author Topic: ways to let someone go so they can get unemployment? Franklin Armstrong Expert Film Handler Posts: 106 From: Orlando, FL, USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 01-23-2003 02:42 AM                     I would like ways to let someone go so they can get unemployment? in the state of Florida.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-23-2003 07:11 AM                    Is FL different than other states? Just let them go. Unless they were terminated for theft or some other extreme behavior they should be able to collect unemployment. In the cases where someone is turned down it is, if I am not mistaken, because the former employer has challenged the claim and the challenge was upheld (rare). So for one thing, don't challenge the claim.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-23-2003 11:19 AM                    I think also that for one to claim unemployment they must average 32 hours or more over the course of 6 months to a year.

You are supposed to be actively looking for work. In the past they made you submit a list of places you contacted each week although I think they have streamlined this a great deal. But going to school full time would disqualify the person.  |  IP: Logged
