i am an employer in ny.
i had an employee who just stopped comming into work. no call or any indication of his whereabouts. after some time, i replaced the position because it was a need.
now almost a year later, i got his unemployment papers in the mail.
so i fought it, claiming that he was a "no call, no show" and that he does not deserve benefits.
now, i got back indication that he won the case, due to him finding employment after he disappeared from me.
my basic question is, how on earth does it come down to me being responsible for his claim?
is this really just a loophole in the system?
there has to be a way to win this. i as a company did nothing wrong, how am i peniliazed. if he just shoed up for work...he would still have a job with me. instead he disappeareed to what looks like another job...got canned from there....and now it comes to me??
can someone explain to me how this could possibly make sense![]()
