California Unemployment
Unemployment insurance is a state-administered program meant to provide a level of income security for workers who find themselves unemployed for reasons beyond their control. People who quit their jobs will generally be ineligible for unemployment benefits, and those who are fired for misconduct or other good cause can also expect to have their applications denied. If you’re running into trouble with your application for unemployment insurance benefits, contact a California employment law attorney at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP.

Many people file a claim for unemployment benefits without any idea that they were terminated for cause until the employer objects to the former employee’s application. The circumstances of termination that are presented to the Employment Development Department are sometimes very different from those explained to the employee at the time of separation.
If your claim for unemployment benefits was denied on the basis of your former employer’s objection, our attorneys can evaluate the reasons presented to the Department in light of your personnel record, the employer’s previous history with unemployment insurance claims, and any possible retaliatory or discriminatory motives that might have driven the decision to object to your claim.
Along the way, our lawyers sometimes cover additional claims in favor of the former employee: wage and hour violations, unreimbursed expenses, or miscalculation of pay due to improper compensation practices at your company. Our ability to identify violations of workplace rights before your separation can often help strengthen your case for unemployment benefits while establishing the basis for additional claims in your favor.
