[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which is it?[/quote]

You can't collect unemployment if you quit OR if you are fired for cause. You can collect if you are fired without cause. [/quote]That is a myth
you can quit if you were working in a hostile work environment, but then you have to prove this
You can be fired for cause and still get unemployment. The department of labor descides who can receive benefits, not your employer. Your employer has to prove it was for cause and satisfy the dept of labor rules.

So in practice nannies get unemployment benefits even when they were paid under the table. The story about stealing is not grounds for dept of labor to deny benefits when there is no proof. If there was proof the police would get involved and prosecute.

So this is good news for the nanny, not for the family that does the firing. The family gets caught in not paying the taxes owed and their insurance premiums for unemployment go up after they have done the firing.

In practice you can be fired without cause, but most prefer not to do so[/quote]
