Employers are often surprised at how easily a former employee can establish a successful unemployment claim.\u00a0 With respect to unemployment claims, the largest misconception among employers is that terminating an employee for substandard performance will disqualify the individual from receiving unemployment benefits.\u00a0 In most states, unless the employee\u2019s behavior rises to a level of \u201cmisconduct,\u201d the claimant will be deemed eligible for unemployment benefits.\u00a0 Thus, terminating an employee for \u201cpoor performance,\u201d \u201cincompetence\u201d or \u201cinability to perform the job\u201d will almost always result in the former employee being awarded for unemployment benefits, and, as a result, may adversely affect your SUI rate.<\/p>\n
