Unemployment Benefits While On Suspension????

[acvegasUSA]

Las Vegas, Nevada (USA Law)

I am a Shuttle Bus Driver for a major casino/hotel here in Las Vegas, Nevada; been employed there for 3 years no auto accidents until today. No one was hurt. Damage to the other vehicle left back side of the car (estimated $4000+/pending); I accidentally side swiped a car. So, I was in the wrong and issued a citation by the cops. I have been placed on suspension by my employer until further notice and all of the paper work has been finalized/completed by my employer. It could take a few days to up to two weeks; no one knows for sure. Again, I was not given a return date. No, as of date I have not been fired (yet).

In the state of Nevada – do I possibly qualify for temporary unemployment while on employment suspension?

If you were suspended without pay you could qualify for UI and should file for it ASAP just in case it takes longer than two weeks.

There's a waiting period and benefits are not retroactive.

If you wait two weeks to file and then get fired you lose a week's benefit.

If it's resolved in a few days, you can withdraw your claim.

Never trust any employer who puts you on suspension without pay. They can string you along for weeks or months before they fire you and you've lost all that money.

There's absolutely no harm in applying. The worst that can happen is that you're turned down, and if that happens, you're no worse off than if you never applied in the first place.
