In almost all states, persons who lose their jobs, due to no fault of their own, are legally entitled to collect Unemployment compensation benefits. These Unemployment benefits last for the applicable benefit period or until they find employment, whichever occurs first.

An employee who quits a job does not, in most cases, qualify for Unemployment benefits. However, if the job resignation was due to harassment, some type of discrimination, threats, or hazardous working conditions, then the employee may be able to qualify for an Unemployment benefits claim.

When an employer creates a work environment that makes continued employment difficult, an Employment Attorney can your employment rights. Unemployment Insurance (UI) is a employee support system, operated and funded by federal and state taxes, that provides benefits for workers who have become unemployed through no fault of their own. Each state has its own Unemployment insurance program. An Employment or Unemployment Attorney can explain the nuances of each states Unemployment law, Unemployment benefits, and Unemployment program.
