QUESTION
If I resign and they let me go before my resignation date, do I qualify for unemployment benefits?
Asked on Jul 30th, 2013 on Labor and Employment - New Jersey
More details to this question:
On July 16th, 2013 I gave my job 2 months notice of resignation, making September 15th , 2013 my last day. On Monday July 22, 2013 I unexpectedly got sick, I was admitted to the hospital on July 23, 2013 and was released Friday July 26th, 2013. I returned to work Tuesday July 30th, 2013. I found that my desk was packed up and someone had already replaced me. I'm pretty sure they will most likely let me go on Friday August 2, 2013 , will I qualify for benefits since they're letting me go way before my resignation date?

the employer's declaration to NJ unemployment as to your reason for ending employment is crucial. i would have the discussion with your employer to determine if they will object to you receiving 'unemployment compensation'. please let us know if wwe can help. ed dimon, esq.
