Good luck if try, where work though them at in factory closed from week before last on Thurs last day until 2nd, other job also 2 unpay holidays, file unemployment. For 2 weeks, partial claim, last week should be ok, this morning temp place call about some low banquet server job, long ways off at whopping $10.50 hr for 2 part time days. I told them not intersted an go back factory Thursday. So now have report this that refused on claim, a low trick of temp agency to ruin unemployment for 2 weeks after be there 2 years. I really don't think much temp places

I don't see how offering you temporary employment, while you are temporarily unemployed is a trick. They have to fill the job for their client. That's what the temporary service, that you are employed by gets paid for.

This is why you NEED to go find a REAL job. There are plenty out there if you have the desire.

You turned down work when you had none........and then complain about unemployment......Happy New Year

HI

Yep. I have a friend who has drawn unemployment for a couple months nearly every year for the past 35 or so. He treats it as a vacation and says he'd hate having a job that only gave him a couple weeks a year off.
At the same time whines about low wage earners getting help with rent. heat, childcare etc...

I have never drawn one penny of UE and would take the best job I could find hoping to move up before I would.

Its been many years since I filed for unemployment. When I did I was in the same situation as coonman. However I did take the other job they offered. Sure I wasnt going to make much but it beat sitting around and also possibly opened the door to find something else. Also.....because I made less and worked less I was still able to make a partial claim.

Doesn't a temp agency inquire about your skill set?

I would think if they are asking you to do a job you've never done before, or aren't qualified to do, you would have a legitimate complaint.

Like a factory line worker being asked to serve tables, honestly it seems like a stretch.

Ending the year agreeing with gryhkl feels really weird.

coonman, I thought you had the Groney check in hand? Should last you for your 2-week shutdown of the factory over the holiday, no...?

Dang, that sucks

OK, gentlemen, its time to relax.

Close your eyes, breath deeply, exhale slowly.

Imagine you are in a good place, it's a trapper's convention. Look around, slowly, See all the faces, See all the attire.

Which one of them do you want waiting on your table?

Temp agency pulling a fast one.There ain't no way they would really refer him to their banquet client.

This is how unemployment insurance works in Minnesota. Iowa may be similar or completely different.

Unemployed workers are paid by the state, from a pool of money they have collected in the form of a payroll tax from all employers. That tax rate is experience rated, meaning the likes of temp agencies that experience high unemployment pay a much higher rate that companies that never lay anyone off.

If you are unemployed you apply to the state. They, and not the employer decide on the benefit.

UE insurance is a redistribution of wealth, with this job market no need for it. Let the employer keep their money.

I thought you had two jobs - the one where the press about kilt you off and the other where you broke the toilet

I enjoy your posts

Trap more coon on your days off

Part of the money that you earn and pay taxes for goes to your unemployment benefits. So when you collect unenjoyment you are getting money that you paid in. Like T-Rex said it is experienced based meaning what your average wages for the prior 18 months have been and is then capped on a high end. How is anyone collecting or not ever collecting unemployment benefits a mark on someones character or make them lazy or more of a hard worker. If I was collecting and was offered a job that wouldn't beat or wasn't at least close to what I made in unemployment I wouldn't have taken the job either if I was going to be back at work in a few days.

They don't care about you or your skill sets. I tried Temps a few times, and they send a skilled machinist off to unload rolls of insulation out a a truck, or spend 8 hrs a day going up and down a ladder dumping buckets of plastic in a mold hopper. You get min wage, and they get whatever they can squeeze out of the co. Remember YOU'RE paying for the 2-3 gals and the office and bills..

If I understood him correctly it was a job for 2 partial days a week at 10 bucks or so a long ways from home. I don't see how he could be denied Unemployment for not jumping on that.
