    Default UI Challenged For a Student

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Hawaii

    Hi everyone,

    I am a full time student (evenings & online) I asked my boss if I could student teach from 8-12pm for 10 weeks and he agreed. I was assured if any problems occurred we would work them out. I agreed to stay late and work weekends if need be.

    After 6 weeks my boss asks me to come in on a weekend, I assume to work, when he tells me I am no longer needed and he has hired someone else.

    He said the school is NOW a problem. I was never given a warning or reprimand that there was a problem (no work gone unattended or anything).

    I was never given a heads up as to any concerns about my schedule so that I could have withdrawn form class to KEEP my job.

    **The person he hired, is doing my job plus additional work I was not qualified to do. Which I think was the plan!

    How do I proceed with my claimant separation statement and do I have a chance of receiving benefits?

    I really need & appreciate any advice (single parent cash strapped!)

    Aloha.

    Default Re: UI Challenged For a Student

    If you make clear that you'll drop your school and student teaching responsibilities if they interfere with a prospective job, you might qualify for UI. The problem here, though, is if you are deemed to have quit your job to pursue your education, or if you were terminated for refusing shifts because you were enrolled in school, that claim isn't very convincing.

    You didn't make clear what happened. ("After 6 weeks my boss asks me to come in on a weekend, I assume to work, when he tells me I am no longer needed and he has hired someone else." - What happened in the middle? Did you refuse the shift?)

    I was never approached or offered any other shift. There was NEVER any indication that there was a problem. We worked side by side every afternoon with not so much as a word about my current schedule! This was completely out of the blue! No refusal.

    Had I been given the chance to make a choice between work & school I would have withdrawn from class immediately.

    Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it!
