Norristown Unemployment Attorney
A Norristown unemployment attorney represents employees, who for one reason or another, lose eligibility for UC benefits. Of course, in some situations, an employee loses eligibility for benefits and no appeal will regain them. However, an employer sometimes mislabels an employee for willful misconduct. No matter your situation, an unemployment lawyer assess the situation and figures out what the best course of action is for your case.
Contact an unemployment attorney because your UC benefits are at stake and you only have a short time to file an appeal.
Common Reasons for Benefits Denial
An application for unemployment compensation benefits faces denial when an employee ended his or her employment with either of the following two situations. Of course, a skillful lawyer may be able to reverse the denial; however, only certain circumstances provide for even a chance of that option.
Willful Misconduct
As a rule, an accusation of willful misconduct results in the denial of UC benefits. When an employee enters an employment relationship with the employer, the employee promises to uphold the business interests of an employer. However, willful misconduct reflects intentional disruption of those business interests.
While it is the responsibility of the employer to prove that willful misconduct occurred, the employee should come prepared. Although a skillful lawyer may be able to reverse this denial, proving that an employee’s action did not originate from malicious intent offers a difficult legal challenge. Therefore, willful misconduct usually solidifies ineligibility for UC benefits.
Voluntary Quit
Meanwhile, when an employee chooses to leave a job, the employee relinquishes any right to UC benefits. With the help of a smart unemployment lawyer, an employee receives the responsibility of proving that some circumstance forced the voluntary quit and may be able to gain UC benefits by displaying that a “necessitous and compelling” reason occurred. Of course, voluntary quit usually means that an employee loses eligibility for UC benefits.
