I'm a supervisor in the dental clinic. One of my employees came into the office on her scheduled day 30 min late. When asked what was the reason for her lateness she stated she was tired of taking long rides on the subway and that she needed an immediate raise. My boss was out on that date so I told her she needed to write a written request for her raise which she did. She also wrote that she wanted the raise effective immediately and that she would no longer work if the raise wasn't granted. I told her that I would present her request to the boss next week and that the raise was highly unlikely because of her repeated lateness. She just turned around and left.
Next thing we know we received a letter from unemployment dept of labor.
One more thing to add, when this employee was hired she signed the contract that if she didn't give the office two week notice if she decided to quit, the office would keep the check to cover for the temp assistants.
Is witholdong her last check legal under these circumstances?
Is she eligible for unemployment if she quit and wrote a letter discussed above?
Is she eligible for unemployment if she was only part time and made less than $600 during the first quater and $1100 during the second one?
Thanks
