What is the name of your state?FLORIDA
In July I was fired the day before my vacation was to start. Now I've been with the company two and a half years. this starts last year. I moved out of state and was suppose to tranfer but when I got to my new place they said I did not have a job. after looking for work. Two months later I got the job I was suppose to have when I first got there. But my pay was cut. After fighting for seven months they gave me my pay back. then I moved back to my home state. (that was one problem I went through)
Then One day I got a blow out on the interstate and my husban called me in cause I could not get to work. The next week I had the Flu and when I went to work the manager sent me home. then the next day I called in. When I retuened to work I was fired. My job gave unemployment a different reason why I was fired. But I was still able to collect unemployment. I was told it was beyond my control.
1? Would I be able to sue the company for everything I went through from the pay cut and being terminated.

Not based on the facts in your post.

Contrary to what a great many people appear to believe, the fact that you received unemployment benefits does NOT - repeat, DOES NOT mean that your termination was illegal or that you have a case for wrongful termination. There are PLENTY of people who were legally fired who receive unemployment benefits. ALL the UC commission determines is whether or not you were fired for a reason that does or does not qualify you for benefits under your state law. It has NOTHING to do with the legality of the termination.

A wrongful termination falls into one of two categories; Title VII violations or public policy violations. A Title VII violation means you were fired BECAUSE OF your race, religion, national origin etc. A public policy violation means you were fired BECAUSE you applied for or used a right or benefit that is protected under the law (FMLA, workers comp, reporting unsafe conditions to OSHA, etc.). Nothing in your post suggests that either is the case.
