Thanks the mail has already run today and I didn’t receive anything. Do you think there is a certain way I should explain my story should I maybe shorten it?
You have to look to what you already wrote, but if I were you and you didn't box yourself in, I'd go with you were fired when you tried to return from maternity leave.
The employer provided the wrong number and the judge was unable to contact them so it was only me on the line with the judge. I believe I automatically won?
No, it doesn't mean that. It just means that things are very much in your favor so long as there wasn't one disqualifying thing that came out of your mouth or any of the things that you wrote.
I have my fingers crossed but I feel like it went well. She did say if my previous employer wanted to contested the decision they could submit an appeal.
UPDATE: I won the appeal.. I checked my unemployment payment history online and it shows the funds were sent as of today. It hasn't hit account yet though. Thank You guys so much for all of your help.
Hello everyone the highlights from my decision letter reads as follows
601a provides that an individual shall be ineligible for benefits for the weeks in which he has left work voluntarily without good cause attributable to the employment unit and therefore until he has become reemployed and has had earnings equal to or an excess of his weekly benefit amount in each of four calendar weeks.
Generally it is the responsibility of a worker to arrange his family and domestic affairs so as to permit him to be gainfully employed. However if there are significant changes in working conditions which affect domestic circumstances than the voluntary leaving maybe due to the change in working conditions and attributable to the employer. The evidence shows that the employer refuse to change the claimants working hours back from 9 to 5:30 to 8 to 4:30. It was the employer's actions which precipitated the claimants separation from work. The evidence established that the claimant would have continued working but for the employer's action. The fact that the claimant could not accept the change because of her domestic circumstances did not mean that the separation was not attributable to to the employer. Rather, the claimant had good cause for separation from the employer. The claimant left work for good cause attributable to the employer. The claimant is eligible for benefits under this issue.
That decision was a surprise. I thought it would read that you were fired, but you dodged a bullet and got a quit with good cause. The important thing is that you got benefits, but learn from this: always try to make it look like a firing by the words that come out of your mouth. It just makes it easier.
