FMLA Unemployment Insurance

Christine Clemons

We followed the FMLA reg's to a T. This ee exhausted all their FMLA leave, was still not
able to return to work - so we had to terminate him. He filed unemployment, he deserves it. But the notice of determination states claim will be charged against our firm's account. Is this right? We did EVERYTHING right - should we be charged? I am going to appeal, but would like to hear what others have to say. Thanks!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-18-04 AT 12:05PM (CST)[/font][br][br]You termed the ee but not due to gross misconduct he will most likely receive UI and your company will be charged.

Anytime an ee is awarded UI your company is charged against your reserve account unless the claim is denied.

If the man is otherwise eligible, is medically cleared to work and has been terminated by your company, I'm afraid the notice is correct.
