What is the name of your state? PA
I WAS FIRED FROM MY JOB ON JUNE 6 2005 , AND DENIED UNEMPLOYMENT. THE REASON I WAS FIRED IS THAT I REQUESTED A PERSONAL DAY OFF DUE TO ILLNESS.I CALLED MY EMPLOYER 2 HOURS BEFORE MY SHIFT STARTED, EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I WAS ILL, AND WOULD LIKE TO USE MY 1ST PERSONAL DAY OFF. HE ASKED IF I HAVE WORKED THE REQUIRED 1 YEAR TO BE ELLIGABLE FOR A PERSONAL DAY. I SAID YES, I'VE JUST COMPLETED 1 YEAR. HE SAID OK I'LL SUBMIT THE PAPER WORK & I'LL SEE YOU AT WORK TOMOROW. SEVERAL HOURS LATER I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE HR. REP. SHE SAID, YOU HAVE BEEN FIRED BECAUSE YOU TOOK A PERSONAL DAY 1 DAY TOO SOON, OUR RECORDS SHOW YOU ARE NOT ELLIGABLE FOR IT UNTILL JUNE 7TH. NEXT, THE UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICE DENIED ME BENEFITS BECAUSE MY EMPLOYER TOLD THEM I WAS PRE WARNED THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A PERSONALL DAY WHEN I CALLED IN, AND THAT I JUST DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR WORK. I APPEALED TO UC. REFEREE. AT THE HEARING, THE PAPER I RECEIVED FROM THE UC. OFFICE SAID I COULD BE REPRESENTED BY AN ATTOURNEY OR ANY PERSON OF MY CHOOSING. I HAD MY FATHER GO AS MY REP. AND AS A WITNESS. AT THE HEARING THE REF SAID MY FATHER CANNOT BE BOTH WITNESS AND REP. SO WE CHOSE TO HAVE HIM BE WITNESS THAT I CALLED WORK AND THAT I WAS SICK THAT DAY. AT THE TAIL END OF THE HEARING WHEN MY FATHER WAS TO TESTIFY, THE REF WOULD NOT ALLOW IT. I HANDED THE REV ALL MY DOCUMENTS I WANTED TO SUBMIT FOR EVEDENCE, SHE WOULD ONLY ACCEPT 1 OF THE 20 PAGES. IS THIS FARE? WHAT CAN I DO NEXT?
