All Rights Reserved. Serious violations of company policy, such as showing up to work under the influence of drugs or committing an act of workplace violence, will qualify as misconduct.
Minor offenses can also qualify as misconduct if the employee failed to correct the behavior after being notified that his or her job was at risk. Employees can also be barred from receiving unemployment if they are found to be at "substantial fault" for their terminations.
That standard makes it easier for employees to be disqualified from receiving benefits. Substantial fault includes acts or omissions that violate reasonable company policies, but does not include unintentional errors, minor violations of rules that went uncorrected by the employer, or the failure of an employee to meet the skills required by the position.
If you quit your job, you won't be eligible for unemployment benefits unless you had good cause for quitting. In general, the good cause requirement will be satisfied if you quit because your employer asked you to do something illegal or because your employer failed to protect you from sexual harassment after you put your employer on notice.
Wisconsin law also sets forth a number of other acceptable reasons, including the relocation of a military spouse, domestic violence, or certain caretaking responsibilities.
To maintain your eligibility for unemployment benefits, you must be able to work, available to accept a job, and looking for employment. If you're offered a suitable position, you must accept it. A position is suitable if it is reasonably related to your qualifications and if the hours, pay, distance, and other working conditions are typical of your occupation.
However, the longer you are unemployed, the more willing you'll have to be to accept a position that requires less skill or that pays lower wages. You must conduct a reasonable search for work, which means completing at least four work search activities each week.
You should keep a record of your job search efforts, including the employers you've contacted, the dates you made contact, and the outcome. The DWD may contact you or your employer contacts to verify your efforts.
