What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hello,
I am not sure if this is the right forum as I could not find an unemployment forum. Could someone move me please if I am in the wrong place.
Situation:
I was laid off from my job on 9/30/2009
I began claiming unemployment. In late november I accepted a Part time/ Piece work job with a company. The pay was 30$ per call. Several things I was informed about the job during the hiring process were incorrect. After I accepted the position I worked for them for 2 days. I did 4 jobs in that time frame making a grand total of 116$. I was woefully underskilled for the job and the supervisor told me if I couldnt pick it up I would be fired. Additionally and more importantly the times required changed after hiring and what was supposed to be local work turned into out of town work which conflicted with my ability to care for my daughter. So long story short...I quit. Today when I checked the mailbox for my unemployment check I instead received a letter from the UE saying that a phone interview had been scheduled for 2/12/10. Thats two weeks from now. That means rent doesnt get paid, I go 4 weeks with no income.
Questions:
1- are my reasons valid for quitting the job?
2- Does the fact that I was getting paid for piece work versus hourly affect anything?
3-Will I continue to get unemployment or did I kill it by accepting and quitting this job?
4- Do I have any way to get the previous claim I made so I can at least make my rent? is there an emergency request I can make to UE?
Your help and answers are appreciated
