Reply to comment by rjb5065 in Unemployment form is forcing choice between "Voluntarily Quit" and "Leave of Absence" despite being fired? Won't this deny unemployment? by redditaccount624

Tip from an employer. Unless the employee did something pretty messed up, you wouldn't bother denying unemployment. It's not like the old job is cutting the person a check. Companies pay unemployment insurance.

It depends on the size of the company. Unemployment insurance can go up by multiples once claimed for businesses with fewer than 10 people.

Sure but it is still a very small percentage.

I had an employer fight my UC benefits, but they didn’t show up to the court hearing so I won the case.
For most people, though, it’s probably less expensive and less of a hassle to repay the UC than it is to hire a lawyer and fight it in court.
