California unemployment Insurance Appeals Board hearing question.
I thought I might have won this appeal but because of the way the judge acted I'm not so sure.
My appeal hearing was yesterday.
I was terminated for disclosing to a 3rd party and misuse of company internet. Both claims caused a denial of unemployment benefits. Long story short both were false and employer could not provide evidence past hearsay. 1256 ui code. Nor could they prove a causal relationship to termination because neither happened. At my appeal hearing I made sure I submitted enough evidence from call quality showing the call never occurred. And that even if I had used the company internet no such policy was ever brought to my attention. The judge never brought either issue up. I was told that focusing on the reasons I was denied benefits and not my history was supposed to be the focus of the hearing. After this I'm not so sure I won the appeal.
