My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: California
I am really afraid of having my unemployment denied. I was at work. I was having an extremely emotional day as my husband got extremely intoxicated the night before and punched me int he arm because I was trying to move him over and he didn't realize it was me. he also broke my window by throwing yhis phone and just in general was acting obnoxious. That same morning he got all of his things and left our house. My dad also a week prior had almost died and had just returned home. I was extremely emotional and distressed and I had no more time off at work and I didn't want to get fired.
The day I was fired, I spent a good amount of time arguing with my husband on the phone and basically having a borderline emotional breakdown. there was some beers leftover from the night before when my husband went out. so as I sat in my car I drank two (extremely stupid) I guess someone saw me and ratted me out. I was an extremely good employee for over a year and I'm very embarrassed. Would it be possible the "single isolated incident defense?" and what should I say in my phone interview? I have a child and family to support and this is was the worse decision I have ever made. Please give me any advise , please no judging or sarcasm. They may not fight my unemployment, I really have no idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated! If your best advise is that I will be denied, please say so as well. Thank you.
