Can a person who worked 8 hrs. TOTAL, over a year ago, get approved for unemployement wages?

I had an individual who was hired and worked 8 total hours in my store, over a year ago. She also worked at another company, fulltime. That company recently shutdown. She applied for unemployment wages and was denied by the other company. Why did NY State approve unemployment wages to her through my company? Even though she only worked for me 8 hours.


I would have to know the details of her claim, but I suspect those 8 hours of employment were simply a part of her base period.

You can't be charged for the entire amount of the benefit liability on this claim.
