    Default UI Claims After Being Fired for Attendance with Sick Hours Available

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: WA

    I was recently fired from my job for attendance issues. I had previously informed my manager that I was going to have issues getting to work on time for 2 to 3 months due to taking care of my Mother in lui of some medical issues she was having. After receiving a verbal warning I started using my sick hours when I was late to avoid receiving points against our attendance policy. Our attendance policy states that we are aloud to do this, as long as we turn in the proper paper work requesting to use our sick leave within said mount of time for each instance, and that we have available hours. I did this for about a month without any issues, but was issued a written when I entered a wrong date on a request. The following month I did the same as the previous month. The company decided to change the policy alllowing us to do this and issued me points for the last three requests I had submitted that already been approved and that resulted in a final. Knowing that I was going to be an hour and half late I called in early am to inform my employer that I was calling out. I had 16 hours of sick and safe time available I could use, that by city law I can use without any thing going against any attendance policy in place. They said the had no coverage and asked if I would come and work my shift, even if could not get there on time. I agreed and was fired for being an hour and half late after receiving my final for attendance. I had 16 hours of sick time I could use when I was fired. My question is can I still receive UI benifits?

    You won't know unless you apply.

    Some additional questions. Had you worked there a year? Do they employ more than 75 people in your area?
