I'm not worried. I didn't lie about my situation. And I'm pretty sure that my employer, if they even speak to the unemployment people, will pass it off to the HR department who won't fight my claim for unemployment especially because they don't like to appear in court. Besides, what would they...

Approved. I did not recieve a letter granting me benefits yet but through the automated system, I did find out that a check was sent to me today. So I take it I was approved. Thank God for the understanding lady at unemployment.

Phone interview today... I just had my phone interview today...the lady seemed nice overall. Asked me basic questions, why I wasn't working there anymore, and what made me quit. I explained my situation, and she asked some questions I didn't expect as far as me paying more for daycare, how...

From the Labor Code itself: 202. (a) If an employee not having a written contract for a definite period quits his or her employment, his or her wages shall become due and payable not later than 72 hours thereafter, unless the employee has given 72 hours previous notice of his or her...

Thank you for your advise mcarson87. I may just file a claim, after all if my unemployment is rejected, I'm going to need all the money I can spare until I find a job.

mightymoose: i still haven't found a job, and i still haven't been paid any unemployment benefits and probably won't be until i've had my phone interview so i'm safe in that sense in case they deny me benefits. there are so many opinions about this, the best thing for me to do is what i was...

Okay, so what was the point of you telling me that they didn't break the law by waiting a pay period to give me my last check? They did, and they broke the law by not giving me my job back under the same conditions according to CFRA, like I said, look it up. Your a guy, you obviously wouldn't...

They were the ones who told me to take the position or leave it, and I told them I couldn't take it, so yes they knew I quit. It's not like they told me to take it or leave it and then I just never showed up. What are you talking about? And like I said, I should have been entitled my job back...

Well I definitely could have not taken the new hours whether or not I had more time because, one, they wouldn't have been willing to give me more time, and two, they obviously wouldn't work with me. Besides, its too late. They have broken so many laws... Even paying me out my vacation pay almost...

If I had been notified earlier maybe I could have tried to arrange my daycare schedule differently but I thought everything was fine until he called me 3 days before after I already had everything scheduled around my original working hours. And I did ask him if he could work with me, instead of...

Which brings me to my question exactly...would the state consider it voluntary quit?

Yes I was protected under FMLA/CFRA, but if they were going to change my horus had I not been under FMLA/CFRA, wouldn't they have had to terminate/lay me off because I wouldn't have been able to take the job?

Thanks for the reply Thank you, I've actually answered your question (on the other forum). But you'll have to read down further to get a clarification on my disability/maternity leave.

3 days before getting off of maternity leave, my boss called me and told me I would be working from 8-4:30 when I returned to work which was not the hours I've worked of 5:30-2 for the past two years. I have two children and have scheduled my time to fit around picking them up after 2 and my son...
