Companies should not fire their employees. If they kept their employees employed premiums would not go up. But if a company fired the employee for no reason than to save money, the Employee is entitled to unemployment benefits.
The idea of an unemployment benefit is -- as the phrase suggests -- to assist those who, through no fault of their own, find themselves unemployed.
Unemployment insurance is funded through 2 payroll taxes - one state
(SUI), and one federal (FUI). The rate of the tax is based upon
"experience", meaning that the more claims charged to an employers
account, the higher "experience rating" and subsequent tax rate will
be. How much are we talking about here?
the tax can be over 10% of your payroll for the first $9,000 of
earnings per employee. The federal rate is less.
So it certainly is in the employer's best interest to protest the claim
of an employee who *may not* be eligible to receive benefits.
Generally speaking, employees who are disqualified for benefits include
employees who voluntarily quit or are terminated for gross misconduct.
Each state has their own criteria and it's up to the employer to
monitor all charges against their account.
Sorry about the Bullshit remark.
