I was offered a so called package from my employer if I resigned. They stated I wasn't performing to their standards. The package consisted of vacation days, 5 weeks pay, would be marked eligible for rehire and they would not fight unemployment. All of which I got in writing and signed by my supervisor. I filed for UI and was denied due to quiting without good cause. I found a rebuttal page that stated my supervisor said I quit by my own free will. It also stated that i put in my resignation and left the same day. When in fact i accepted their package, left that same day but did remain as active employee for the next 8 biz days to get paid for optional holidays that couldnt just be paid straight out. I filed an appeal and also included a copy of the "package letter" as evidence. I had my appeals hearing over the phone. My employer didn't call in and I answered all questions to the best of my ability. Which overall I think I was to the point and focused on facts. (wish i would have seen this site before having the appeal and maybe would have had representation) Do you think I have any chance in overturning the denial?
