I have a PH.D. in economics and have always been a hard worker. Circumstances are unique for each person. Try to understand that. Mr. Boarden,

I can certainly understand what a frustrating experience this must have been for you. I suggest you speak to an attorney who can review the contracts you signed as well as the severance package you accepted in order to determine your legal options. You can find a labor and employment attorney in your area through the directory at www.lawinfo.com. Good luck! Hi Don.

The offer was rescinded three days before the start date. They called me back in Feb. 09 and offered the position to me again. Both times I had signed a contract. I worked for the company for one month and a few days and then was told they were laying me off. I did get a sev. package the second time around. What are my rights?

I was sent a letter from the UI offices to alert me to a scheduled phone interview. I was prepared to take the interview, but the UI offices failed to call me, which has been confirmed by my telephone provider. I called the offices numerous times after the date to reschedule the phone interview but could not get through to an actual person. Now I am told I must go through an appeal becaused I refused to provide information about my claim even though I let the UI office know that I had confirmed the fact that I was never given the opportunity to supply that information. Someone is placing false evidence on my claim, and it's not me. I was laid off in mid-February of this year and filed for employment benefits.

Now the Unemployement office called and said my ex- supervisor is telling them that I was never laid off and making up a lot of things. How do I prove that I was told that there was no more work and to turn everything in, because i was being laid off? I was laid off, and so I filed for unemployement, after I couldn’t find a job.

I submitted an expense report for my Cellphone charges to the company and they are refusing to process payment citing it is "excessive". The company advises it's employees to use it's personal cellphone and then submit expense reports. I had not submitted for about 9 months, sheer laziness, but now the company is not willing to pay. What are my rights and what can I do to recover? I was laid off about 30 days ago.
