What is the name of your state? NJ
I recently had my hours and salary cut from full time salary to per diem due to lack of work and my employer didnt want to pay me a salary any longer. I found out that if I worked under a certain amount of hours I could file partial unemployment. I proceeded to do so, then my employer approched me a couple months later and asked why I had not told her I was doing this. She explained she would have to let me go due to the reason of me filing partial unemployment benefits. I tried to explain to her I was allowed to do this. Now she is giving false information to the unemployment department about me not needing to file a claim as she had work for me. I have had the investigative interview and now they are saying I might have to pay all the unemployment benefits back. I feel this is so unfair. Also over the past 2 years I never received a check stub attached to my check. She would either deposit it for me or just give me a company check. Now I have no way of proving that I was only working part time after the time she reduced my hours. Can anyone give me advice? Thanks.
