What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
I was laid-off from my job on the 9th of Jan. I work through a temp agency but was laid off from my place of employment. I called the temp agency after being laid-off and left a message on their main voicemail. I filed for unemployment. I have waited to receive my benefits. It has been three weeks now. Today I received a letter stating that I was terminated from the temp agency for violation of policies. I called the temp agency to ask why it was saying I was fired. They said that I did not call them. I said that i called them on the number I had always called to get a hold of them. They said I signed an agreement to call a different (corporate) number if i was terminated. I was unaware of this number. I don't know what to do. I am three weeks without a paycheck. Should I contest this? Should I get a lawyer?
