[quote=Anonymous][quote]Unemployment is for people who are laid off or whose employment ends through no fault of their own.

Unemployment is not for people who decide to quit.

You offered her to continue with the job you had to offer. She didn't want that. She chose to move on and you should not have to pay a penny for that decision.

But it was not full time employment. 
If you do not have full time employment you are unemployed. 
she paid into the unemployment fund. You are unable to give her full time employment. 
Why can she not get it?[/quote]

Right, it was not full time employment. The employer did not have a full time job to offer. She had a part time job to offer. The nanny took the available job. Now, the nanny wants a job that doesn't exist. An employer does not have to create a full time job simply because an employee wants it.

If the employee wants a full time job and one is not available at her place of employment, she is welcome to leave and seek other opportunities.

Since she chose to leave, and is not laid off and there is a job she could take at her place of employment, she should not receive unemployment. Unemployment is not for people who decide to seek a new or better opportunity. It is to protect people from being let go when they are willing and able to work in their contracted job.[/quote]
