Can I apply for unemployment while being on suspension pending termination?

The reason is my performance; I didn’t have any suspension before just coaching. Supervisor took my punch card, employee ID, headset, he said that I have to call General Manager, I am on suspension for 5 days, I was calling to GM for last four days, left two messages, went to speak with him but he had a conference and told me that going to call me back, no calls from him was received.


Hi,

Sure, why not? If they fire you you'll have the claim already started .. if they don't and you go back to work .. only the time of the suspension will matter .. and since CT doesn't have a waiting week .. you could get benefits for the week of suspension.
