So frustrating!!
I got fired on March 31 due to not getting my leave of absence papers in on time. But, I couldn't because I'm on Medicaid and couldn't get an appointment with an orthopedic til April 17 which I told the supervisors and personnel at my job. I spoke to both my assistant manager and personnel on several occasions and even went into work to speak with both my manager and personnel but the lady in personnel wasn't there that day, so I only spoke w/ my manager.
I had an appointment with the unemployment agency on Monday. They told me initially that my job fired me because I didn't call out for 2 weeks straight and was a no call no show for 14 days so they had no other thing to do then fire me and calling it misconduct.
Today, the unemployment agent called me again saying they spoke to my job's agent and apparently my personnel manager is stating she has no recollection of me ever calling her or my manager and speaking with any of them about me.
However, she is stating that they called me a few times and spoke with me and I told them that I can work, so they put me on the schedule yet I never showed up.
That's all complete BS. The only time anyone called me from work was my assistant manager. She called me the Monday after my accident wanting to know what was going on. That was when I started calling them each week to let them know what was going on. Also, I had called out of work every single day from the day of my accident until I was fired.
My job records all phone conversations so they should have all the recordings on file from when I spoke to them and from when they state they called me which they never did except for my manager.
I feel like unemployment is going to take my jobs side because there's no proof. There's my word against theirs. And why take my word when they could easily take my jobs word so they won't have to pay me money.
The unemployment agent is again going to call the agent who is going to again speak with the necessary parties at my former job to get more lies from them.
I'm so angry because I had done everything right. I followed all protocols when it came to my injury and informing the right people. I just couldn't get the leave of absence papers signed because I couldn't see an orthopedic til over a month AFTER my initial injury!!!
I am at a loss. I haven't gotten paid since Feb and I'm just trying to get Some funds into my account from when I got fired. I Should've been able to collect money from leave of absence but now I don't get that money and am still trying to fight for unemployment money and nothing is working!!!
Is there anything I can do besides getting a lawyer? I don't have the money to pay for a lawyer. I don't care to get my job back at that company because of how wrong their treating me right now and lying about everything. I Just want what I deserve to get for my injuries and being forced out of work.
