My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Arizona
I was terminated from my job for misconduct. I received no written warnings or any indication I would be fired for poor performance. My employer claims I didn't follow instructions or do my job duties properly. He told me to correct some of my work, which I did. Again, I received no written warnings about this. I was granted UI benefits because my employer did not submit any response within the specified timeframe. However, now my employer is protesting my UI benefits, stating "willful or negligent misconduct" and I have an upcoming hearing. What is the deciding factor a judge looks at when it comes to misconduct?
