    Default Unemployment After Being Fired Without Explanation

    I was recently fired and was not specifically given a reason. I was fired the day of my six month review and assumed the termination was due to my performance? When applying for unemployment I indicated the reasoning for termination as "unable to perform job". My claim is currently under review. What are my chances for unemployment benefits?


    THANKS!

    It depends upon whether your employer challenges your claim, what allegations your employer raises, and how the language "unable to perform my job" is interpreted by the agency. (The reason why you were "unable to perform" your job may be deemed relevant.)

    Well friend, Unless you had an employment contract or are in a union, you are probably an "at will" employee and can be fired without any reason at all. There is some protection for you if you were fired because of race, disability, national origin and other special situations. See an employment lawyer.

    Whether or not an employee receives unemployment benefits has nothing to do with the legality of the termination.

    Based on your post you were fired 'with cause" this will hamper your chances for UIB. If you are denied UIB you have the option to appeal the decision

    OP hasn't posted on forum since 4-2007 so they probably won't be back to read additional comments.
