    Post UC Appeal

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Pennsylvania

    I was denied unemployment after being terminated for altering time and attendance records to avoid what amounted to less than 4 hours of time for the course of 10 months. I was aware that I should not have done so, but wonder if there is any chance on an appeal. I was employed for 5.5 years, and had never received a single write-up for any policy or procedure violation. Although this was considered a terminable offense, I believe that a final written warning could have been issued as a reprimand considering my lack of write-ups and achievements.

    Any thoughts?

    There is no requirement that you be given a warning or notice before you are terminated. Every place I have ever worked, falsifying time and attendance records would be grounds for immediate termination, regardless of the amount of time stolen (yes, I said stolen and I'll stand by that) and regardless of your length of service.

    There is never any harm in appealing. Depending on the ALJ you get, it is *possible* (unlikely, but possible) that the fact that you were not given a warning *may* work in your favor. However, it is self-evident that you should not be falsifying records - it shouldn't be necessary for them to have to tell you that. On that basis, I would expect the denial to stand.

    Agree, sounds like a denial of benefits to me also. However, it will be up to the ALJ to make the decision after a review of all information.
