I am a caregiver and work with an agency. I currently work with just one resident, 38 hours a week. Recently, she was hospitalized and now is going to be in rehab for more than a week. I have already lost 3 days of work and they arent giving me any options for work. I cant go this long without pay. Do I qualify for unemployment?
Not after three days -- Wisconsin has a "waiting week" law. After a full week, you can apply for and receive unemployment if your employer offers you no compensable work time.
