Refused to Pay Employee Under the Table - Resulted in Unemployment

"defraud government agencies" ... writing that down and using in a statement against my former employer. That's the first time you actually responsed with some kind of legal information, instead of ruining my cup of coffee. Thanks.

What? Why all the hostility? All I did was tell Chyvan this isn't a fraud-training site, and then I explained to Georgetown that all I said to Chyvan was this isn't a fraud training site. I haven't said anything at all to you, and certainly nothing I've said to anyone here should warrant you acting like a nasty jerk! Wow.

Eerelations, please do not respond to any of my comments. If you do respond I will report you.

Thankz, I wish you the best of luck on your case!

When you post on a public board you do not get to pick and choose who responds. Reporting eerelations for responding to your post will have no effect on her ability to do so.

Report her for what? And what, precisely, do you think I'll do about her responding to publicly accessible posts? Besides encouraging her to continue doing so, as she's a long-time, valued contributor here?

If you don't like the culture here, feel free to leave.

Awww thanks for your support, cbg and Missy. I think Georgetown's just embarrassed because I pointed out his mistakes, and he doesn't want me to do that anymore.

[Thankz]

UPDATE!! I had my fact-finding interview today...

Employer wasnt there to pick-up the phone... It was just me telling what happened.

BUT- The deputy said I could have gone "alternative avenues" in resolving the issue. She said I should have contacted DOL and continued to work there even under the hostile conditions and then he would have eventually fired me.

I am shocked. This will probably make me ineligible for UI. Feel like I shot myself in the foot for doing the right thing.

This will probably make me ineligible for UI.

Maybe, maybe not. Don't give up just yet.

If you are denied, appeal it. The worst they can do is say No again.
