Stroudsburg Unemployment Compensation Attorneys
Do you know what to expect from your unemployment hearing? An experienced employment lawyer can help you prepare for the challenges you face when trying to collect unemployment. At Amori & Associates, LLC, we handle unemployment compensation claims for individuals and businesses throughout Pennsylvania. From willful misconduct to voluntary resignation, we can take on complex cases, and make sure your rights are protected.
If you are terminated from your job, you may qualify for temporary payments through unemployment compensation. It is important that you contact an unemployment compensation service center to obtain benefits very soon after your separation from employment.
Unemployment compensation benefits are not automatic. There are a number of requirements that you must meet in order to obtain unemployment compensation, including:
Once you have submitted a claim, your employer will be asked to provide information about the circumstances surrounding your separation from employment. Depending on the information provided by your employer, you may initially be denied benefits. Regardless of whether you are initially denied benefits or are initially granted benefits, you or your employer will have a right to appeal the decision.

It is very important that you know there is only a very short period of time within which to appeal a decision by the unemployment service center. You must make a timely appeal or you may forever waive your right to any unemployment benefits.
You are generally permitted to have an attorney represent you at certain stages of the appeal process. Attorneys are permitted to assist in the appeal process because many rules that govern civil trials also govern unemployment hearings, including the right to cross-examine witnesses.
You may wonder why an employer would want to prevent an employee from receiving benefits. The more claims against an employer, the more that employer has to pay into the unemployment fund. Every employer is taxed at a rate that can increase based on the number of successful claims. For that reason, employers try to minimize the number of former employees receiving benefits. From a personal standpoint, if an employer believes that an employee acted wrongly and should not receive the benefit of unemployment compensation, he or she may protest the claim.
