What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington Six weeks ago I was called into my HR. I called my union and had a union rep with me there the whole time. HR started reading off this list of accusations that I'd done. One verging on sexual harrassment. These accusations were all made by my ex-girlfriend who I worked with still. Well work had been hell for awhile since her and I had broken up. After all the list of my accusations was read, HR asked me and my union rep to step out so they could talk things over. I was sure I'd get fired. I told my union rep that we should make a deal so that I could quit under 'good' terms and not have the firing on my record. She said it was a good idea and HR was fine with it. I told them that I'd be filing for Unemployment and they understood, but they told me that they'd have to tell them the list of accusations that I was up against, but they said they would not appeal if my unemployment was granted. They even gave me extra vacation payout(100% vice the usual 90% other employees would get), and they gave me an additional $250 out of the kindness of their heart I guess. My union rep and the head of HR said me leaving was for the best.
I talked to WA state unemployment today and they stated that my ex employer is fighting my UE request and it may get denied. No official word has come yet, in WA it takes 6-8 weeks. What if anything can I do? Some of the reasons I put down for quitting when I mailed in my UE paperwork was that I suffer from depression and anxiety (all validated/I am a Disabled Veteran) and the job was just becoming too much with all the accusations and negative vibe at work.
I'd appreciate any help please.
