Over a year ago I applied at a company that told me I would be receiving a full time position during my interview if I were to be hired.
I received a call back and was told to come in for training. On my first day they gave me part time position forms and told me that possibly in 3 or 4 months I could "maybe" become full time.
I reluctantly accepted the position as it was my only option that the time. A couple of months later I was offered a higher paying full time job with another company. I put in my two weeks and worked my last shift and 3 days later started my new job. During this time my old company had called 3 times and left no messages. I called back and left a message for them to get back to me and nobody ever did. During my last two weeks my supervisor was very short with me and rude to me most of the time. Yelling at me for being a minute late from one of my lunch breaks or clocking in a minute late when a snow storm hit last year, telling me I should either learn how to drive in winter or leave earlier. I took her abuse for the two weeks.
I now recently finished college and am out of job and unable to find a job in my field at this time and I applied for EI. I realized that I was denied because my supervisor put I was fired on my roe. This is untrue and I am extremely upset that this happened. EI has tried contacted my old employer and they are not able to get through as nobody is returning their messages or calls and I have tried calling as well and nobody has gotten back to me yet either. I don't know what to do because I have insurance payment for my vehicle, gas to pay, bills and rent all due that I don't have enough money for. What can I do to fix this?
Their posting that you were fired may not make any difference to your EI claim, depending on where you are.
Most employment insurance isn't available, as far as I know, if you've just got out of college. It's also not your last employer.
I'd write a appeal response to that issue, and drop a copy off in person to that particular company.
If they don't answer EI it should be on their head, as long as they were a legitimate employer. And
according to their own paperwork, you were part time anyway. If you still have that paperwork, they
could have let you go without any reason at all. It sounds vindictive on their part and/or your manager
was just trying to make themselves look good by stating to their own people that you were fired. Did
you give two weeks notice, in writing, and keep a copy of it? You did finish college, after all.
I have gone through the "getting fired" thing twice. My experience with EI was very positive and in both cases applied a waiting time penalty and honored my claim. Thank goodness or I would really of been in a heap.
Best case is to document your situation as best you can and submit it to your EI agent. It seems to me that unless you were doing something serious like robbing the till, EI will accommodate your claim. Good luck
