Eligibility for UI is pretty simple, you had a job and now you don't.
Qualifying is another matter.
When you accept a job you agree to the terms of employment set forth by the employer.
Think of those terms as "if you want to keep this job here are things you should
and should not do"
Patrick ended up in his situation because he did not follow his own handbook and dismiss her for tardiness in the manner it prescribed.
I like Patrick, I think he's a good guy.
But he has had several issues with employees that could have been handled better.
I'd recommend either outsourcing or upgrading his HR.
At minimum it might be worth it to have his policies and procedures reviewed by an outside HR specialist.
Will cost him but given the track record he has shared with us it might save him money in the long run.
My two cents, take it for what it's worth.
