    You are entitled to continue filing your unemployment claims and to look for other work.

    really? I am doing that, and have been for months. Apparently I am overqualified (20 yrs experience in hospitality/service industry and a degree in bus management) I am specifically referring to an employer blatantly lying. To say I quit while I work 3 nights a week is lying, right?

    Even if so, that does not entitle you to legal recourse. Lying is not illegal.

    Lying to a deputy during an official hearing is not illegal? wow I am shocked! But if I lied I would be denied benefits; how does that work?

    What makes you think that? Not true. And it wouldn't be illegal if you did, either.

    The fact of the matter is, the unemployment officials are well aware of the fact that in an unemployment hearing, either the employer or the employee, or both of them, may be lying. That's just a fact of life to them and they take it in stride.

    Besides which, I don't think we've established absolutely that anyone lied. It's not outside the realm of possibility that someone made an error, but there's a difference between deliberately lying and making a mistake.

    he said I quit and has had no communication with me since 10/9, so I forwarded all the e-mails between us because he is completely incapable of returning phone calls to the employees; which led to him being removed from his position to a field manager. Trust me, he lied. He says things that are not only untrue, but malign my character (imo) even the deputy said "Well, that's not true is it? I have the e-mails that contradict your testimony" I am looking for other jobs as I was removed from my post an hour AFTER the hearing. You should know that I am an exemplary employee that has gotten rave reviews from clients. Even when the 1 ended due to the sleeping officer, they requested I stay on but my employer told them a price they could not afford. I am not an exaggerator nor am I making a mistake. The main branch in Richmond has threatened to shut our office down due to the ineptness of this man, yet the branch manager keeps him on. They have a Dec. deadline to straighten up, but I am sure this will not bode well for them. Thank you for your replies though; I just found this site and thought I would try it. I will let others know how well it works, so far so good.
