Unemployment

[ScionicLoyalist]

What is the name of your state? Philadelphia, PA

If I was fired for sleeping on my break, what does the company have to prove to stop me from getting unemployment in philadelphia?

thanks in advance for your help.

That you were fired for a reason that disqualifies you under PA laws.

Where can I find the law reguarding sleeping on your break? In philadelphia, PA

I very much doubt that there's a specific law that says, If you were sleeping on the job/on your break, you will/won't get unemployment. There isn't a list of potential offenses with a yes/no after each of them.

It's going to be whether you can convince the adjudicator that sleeping on the job/your break does not constitute misconduct, or whether your employer can convince the adjudicator than it does.

1. Does it matter weather or not I dosed off on purpose?

2. Will the fact that I left the door open and lights on make a difference?

3. Does the fact that I am used to working the 9pm-6am shift (the shift i worked the day before) and I fell asleep on the 6am-4pm shift make a deifference?

Any of the above may or may not make a difference.

You're just going to have to wait and see what happens.
