After 13 years working for an employer, because of stress caused by the employer in regards to the amount of work that was put upon me, I quit my job. My decesion to quit was based on the fact that the employer knew I was behind on many of the tasks, but upon returning back from vacation, the employer demanded my desk be brought current. After a year of complaining that I had no help, in working a desk that had become to much for one person to process, they put me on probation. I knew that there was no way I was going to be able to bring the desk current. I already was working overtime hours, I couldn't continue working the hours with the demands they required. So I quit the next day. I also had already been put on medication because of the stress and knew I couldn't continue to work and perform under the pressure.
I was denied unemployment benefits and appealed twice. Each level they denied my benefits because of unemployment code, section 1256. I have now been notified that to appeal again I must file "a Petition for Writ of Mandate" within 20 days of the last Appeals Boards decision.
My question, what are the chances I have of being granted unemployment benefits? Should I seek legal council?
Thank you,
