Am I eligible for unemployment after I resigned due to pregnancy?
(Miami)
Today January 4th I resigned and here's the letter for better understanding...
Dear Ms. **Name deleted**:
I would like to inform you that I am resigning from my position as Patient Coordinator for **company name deleted**, effective January 17,2011.
Thank you for the opportunities for professional and personal development that you have provided me during the last seven months. I have enjoyed working for **** and appreciate the support provided me during my tenure with the company. However, as per our conversation today, January 3rd, 2011 I asked you if you would give me a chance to work in the office oppose to working in the field. You denied my proposal because no work was available at the time. Therefore due to pregnancy I can not keep exposing myself to the high risk of driving in traffic most of the time. I would also like to get reimbursed for all my vacation time available.
If I can be of any help during this transition, please let me know.
Sincerely,
She gave me the option to leave immediately which i took and left. I applied today for unemployment i want to know what is the possibility to get it.
Hi,
Given your letter .. you will be denied unemployment benefits unless you had given the employer documentation from your doctor telling you not to drive .. which I think is highly unlikely .. and if you were .. how would you get past a denial based on unavailability for work because I'm assuming also that you have to drive to get to work and I have also assumed you knew you had to drive in the "field when you took the job.
Why if you actually read any of the other questions .. about quitting because of pregnancy or even health reasons in general .. would you think you might be able to collect unemployment?
