My mission as your Unemployment Advisor is to guide you through this complex system and provide you with the information and answers you need to win your unemployment insurance claim or appeal, despite the challenges and your ex-employer’s incentives and resources to use these legal loopholes and exceptions to protect themselves and deny you the benefits you deserve.
You are only entitled to
benefits if you are a full-time, traditional ‘employee’. In many states,
part-time employees are not eligible. ‘Contingent’ workers (independent
contractors, temporary workers and other non-traditional workers (the fastest growing segment of our workforce)
are not eligible for such benefits in any state. Too many workers who lose
their jobs don’t learn this until they file their unemployment claim, and are
surprised (to say the least) when they are denied.
Given these often-unexpected challenges and legal loopholes favoring employers, far too many workers just give up, without even trying to fight for these rights.
My job is to provide you with the information, and ammunition, you need to fight back and secure this money that is rightfully yours -- to help ‘level your playing field’ when seeking to obtain your unemployment insurance benefits.
