    Default California Unemployment Interview

    I resigned from a job because of extreme stress. I've applied for Unemployment and I have an elligibilty interview soon. I feel like I have evidence - hard evidence - of the fact that I was over worked by my boss. Other than that, what do I need to prove?

    Any advice is welcome!

    Thank you.

    Overworked?? What do you mean by that? Were you forced to work hours of overtime without compensation? Did you make a claim to the labor board? HR? Anyone?

    The fact that you resigned may negatively effect your eligibility for unemployment benefits. But, that's for your eligibility worker to look in to.

    Yes - overtime without compensation. I complained to HR - they just shrugged. Still talking to the labor board. Since I left, my former job was redesigned because my replacemet couldn't do all the work. It really was too much for one person.

    Being "overworked" is not a qualifying reason to quit and get unemployment. I'll be very surprised if you're granted benefits.

    Thanks for the encouragement - especially since I didn't ask for an opinion. I can't possibly go into all details here so you can't really make a judgement about whether I'll get benefits or not.

    I did ask for advice/information about the interview. I would appreciate any responses to that question.

    About all you can do is provide the facts as you believe them to be. But, they will then send a notice of the allegation to your employer who will be able to respond to your claims.

    From http://www.edd.ca.gov/unemployment/eligibility.htm ...
    Reason an individual is unemployed
    The reason an individual is out of work can affect his/her eligibility for benefits. A person who is laid off is out of work through no fault of his/her own. A person who quits work or is fired from work will be scheduled to a telephone interview because there is a separation issue that must be resolved. The Department interviewer obtains and documents information about the separation from the employer and claimant and decides, according to law and regulations, if the person is eligible to collect benefits. The Department mails a notice to the claimant who is not eligible for benefits. The Department mails a notice to the employer who responded timely to the notice of claim filed. The notice advises the employer about whether the claimant is eligible or not, and whether the employer's account will be charged for benefits paid to the former employee. Either party can disagree with an unfavorable decision and file an appeal.

    I have to agree with PattyPA that claiming "overwork" is going to make it hard to prove this compelled you to quit your job.

    Good luck.
