What is the name of your state? Florida
I am replacing the previous HR manager. She handled a case whereas an employee threatened violence ("I'll be back with my boys") and was terminated (he walked off the job and didn't come back as he heard he was going to be fired). The reason for his termination was misconduct.
The former employee filed for unemployment. The claim was sent out and there was a phone hearing with the previous HR manager (I was not present for that). The decision came back that the former employee was not discharged for misconduct. I have appealed that decision showing handwritten records that the former employee threatened violence. The decision came back that this is new information, the courts will stick with the original info and the former employee will be able to collect unemployment. The appeals commission referred to Fl. Statute 443.151(4)(c).
How do I successfully appeal and win in this situation. The former employee barely passed his 90 day probation and threatened violence at least 3 times in the one altercation. We don't find it right that he will collect unemployment.
Please advise -
Thank you,
Jennifer
