My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: indiana
I worked at a theatre for 5 months. The owners (first time theatre owners) were friends of mine, and at first, everything was going fine. This was my first management position, and I went in thinking I would be given guidelines and training to help me understand what the job was all about. Contrary to my belief, none of this happened. I was thrown into it and was expected to figure things out on my own. While frustrated, I thought i was doing a pretty good job, given that one of the employees that had been there for 3 years said that sales had never been so good, and that things ran so much smoother after i took over. one day out of the blue, i get a text message saying that they were making an administrative change, my check would be in the mail (which was not, i had to pick it up myself) i was to hand in my keys and not enter the theatre. I never received a real reason, even after asking for written documentation. i suppose since we were friends i expected something more than 'administrative change.' so i filed for unemployment. i got it for like the first two weeks, then it stopped coming. i then received a call from workforce one asking why i was let go, and as i said before, i had no information to give them. My employer,however, gave a bunch of bogus reasons. There was a door left open once, no one could figure out how it happened. i've since decided it didnt get latched by whoever, and it blew open. My employer had the state and county police come in with drug dogs to make sure i wasnt dealing out the back of the theatre. if that wasnt enough, they said there were possible criminal charges against me because they were having the books audited to see if i was stealing money. then they said i was never available, which was also untrue. and to top it off the place was never clean supposedly. there were also supposedly numerous verbal warnings, but none of them are in my employee file with my signature stating that they happened. all these were given to unemployemtent as reasons, but were never given to me officially. they even went as far as to tell them that i called the fire marshal on them about a fire code violation after i was fired, even though it was an anonomous tip. i have no idea who called them, but to tell them it was me is just disturbing here on my end. to finish this up, i got my back pay because they deemed my dismissal unjust. they are now appealing. i am very nervous about this because paying back all that money will be nigh impossible for me if the judge doesn't grant in my favor. is my employer allowed to change reasons like that on me? i know i was a good employee and this is disturbing. sorry if i rambled, im just really nervous about all this
