[quote=Anonymous]OP - I'm 12:55 and I work in HR.  Your probationary period has nothing to do with receiving unemployment.  Generally in MD, VA, and DC you can collect unemployment if you are terminated (there are exceptions including cause, abandoning your job, and you are not eligible to receive unemployment for any weeks that you have been given severance).  The only thing that your length of employment has to do with unemployment is that businesses pay unemployment tax and if you have not worked at your company for enough quarters for that business to have paid enough tax for your unemployment than the state takes the funds from your previous employer's taxes that they have paid.  It's complicated, but this does not impact you as the receiver and it is handled by the jurisdiction that you apply to.

I've dealt with many employees in your situation where they are just not a good fit.  It's part of life and please do not let it discourage you.  Fortunately I have always worked for companies that understand when an employee is not a good fit it is best to acknowledge that, give the employee a period of time to improve, and if they cannot then to allow them to leave with their dignity and one month's pay.[/quote]
