Does proving an employer committed perjury in an unemployment hearing help my claim? And, does it help with the EEOC charge?
Currently, I have an MCHR/EEOC charge, and an unemployment claim in process against my former employer. MCHR has handed it to the EEOC for performance as the charge is discrimination AND severely pervasive hostile work environment (not covered by Missouri state law). EEOC has assigned mediation with scheduling TBD. Unemployment claim was denied all the way through the LIRC, but in request for reconsideration, the LIRC ordered a remand. I voluntarily left the employer, and claimed benefits under leaving for good cause; discrimination. During the first round of my appealing initial denial of benefits, the HR rep for my former employer committed perjury by claiming a particular meeting held prior to my resignation did not have anything to do with my raising concerns of discrimination. I clearly stated the majority of said meeting was an attempt to raise my concerns. Benefits were denied, then denied again by the LIRC. In requesting reconsideration by the LIRC, I provided a recording of the aforementioned meeting, proving the material majority (latter ~42 of a ~50 min meeting) was nothing but a discussion of my concerns with HR. The LIRC granted reconsideration, and an in-person hearing with scheduling TBD.
