    Unemployment Insurance - Defense of reason for termination

    Ta da! And there it is! For the benefit of anyone else in NC with this issue, it's been approximately 24 hours after I started the application and a link just appeared on the "My Homepage" tab which leads to a questionnaire. It's asking questions about whether I was warned verbally or in...

    Unemployment Insurance - Defense of reason for termination

    I can't thank you all enough for your help. I may end up with more questions, but I promise I'm not going to ask you to hold my hand through the whole process. Have a good day, everyone.

    Unemployment Insurance - Defense of reason for termination

    Ok, this is a really dumb question, I'm sure. But it's asking me "Was your last employer a temporary or staffing agency?" This employer in question is not. The employer I had before them was. When they say "last" employer which one do they mean?

    Changing time cards to avoid paying overtime

    Thank you for the response! This isn't the answer I was hoping for because now I have to butt heads with a stubborn HR employee, but I'm certainly not going to deliberately put my employer at risk and I'm sure as (censored) not going to put myself at risk if, as you say Quincy, I could be...

    Changing time cards to avoid paying overtime

    My state is NC. My question is whether it’s legal to change time cards to avoid paying overtime. It’s part of my job to transcribe time cards onto worksheets and then send those spreadsheets to our home office so they can generate payroll. They also get scanned copies of the time cards, but...
