Fired - Am I still entitled to Unemployment benefits - (I won)
So I was terminated from my employer, and here's the reason..
It was snowing really bad out , and really icy, I almost hit a car in front of me, and so I thought it was not worth my life or anybody else's So I called in a half hour prior to my shift (As per company policy) and explained to them the conditions I was facing, I was never told by my employer to still come in, or not to come in, but it sounded like the manager I talked to said he would tell the other managers, So I figured they understood, (Or at least expected a call back telling me to come in still, I would of taken a taxi in that case) Anyhow, I came in the next day and got fired.. I filed for unemployment, on 2/14/13 and the employer was suppose to respond no later than 2/25/13.. It's past the dead line, and I'm not sure what happens if a employer does not respond to unemployment.. Does anybody know if I even have a case?? This is in the state of Minnesota by the way.
