What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Delaware
I was fired without Just Cause and was found eligible for Unemployment Compensation. My employer appealed the decision. I went to the hearing and was again found eligible for Unemployment Compensation because my employer failed to show proof of evidence. My employer has again filed an appeal. This can only be done if they say they have new and substantial evidence to support their case. Since everything I have been accused of is a lie and there is no evidence, what can I expect in the way of a "surprise" that would turn the decision against me? The reason given for firing me was that I was unfriendly to customers and I walked in the kitchen of the restaurant with tennis shoes on. There is no employee handbook; I was never told not to walk in the kitchen, in fact, it is part of our job and no employee wears "restaurant grade shoes" except the cooks. I had worked at this job for 5 years under a different manager with no problem whatsoever. The manager that fired me was new and had worked with me for 1 day. Also, I was never made aware of any dislike of my performance until I was brought into a conference room and fired.
Should I feel certain that I will win this appeal also?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
