Man, that sucks. Sounds like your company is trying to screw you over. Have you tried appealing the decision? You should def do that ASAP.

I found a method to get someone on the phone at ny unemployment. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Ugh, the system is so broken. They always side with employers. 🤮 Fight this! Don't let them get away with it!

I've been in your shoes, and it's rough. Here's what you need to do to fight this denial and potentially get your unemployment benefits: 1. File an appeal immediately. You usually have a limited time to do this, so don't delay. 2. Gather evidence. Collect any emails, texts, or documents that show you were doing your job properly and that the 'violation' was actually just you needing to pick up your child. 3. Get statements from coworkers if possible. If anyone can vouch for your work ethic or the situation that day, it could help. 4. Prepare your case. Write down a clear, concise explanation of what happened. Stick to the facts. 5. Consider getting legal help. Some nonprofits offer free legal aid for unemployment cases. 6. Be persistent. The ny unemployment system can be frustrating, but don't give up. 7. While you're fighting this, look into temporary assistance programs in your area. Food banks, rental assistance, etc. can help tide you over. 8. Keep job hunting. Document your search efforts as this can help your case. 9. If you're having trouble reaching someone at unemployment, try using claimyr.com. It costs a bit, but it can get you through to a real person faster. Hang in there. It's a tough situation, but you've got options. Don't let them bully you out of the benefits you deserve.

have you tried goin to your local unemployment office? sometimes face-to-face works better than tryin to deal with everything online or over the phone

This is why we need stronger worker protections! Companies shouldn't be able to just fire people for BS reasons and then block unemployment. The whole system needs an overhaul.

hey OP, what industry were you working in? might be able to suggest some quick job options to tide you over while you sort this out

lol welcome to the club 🤡 ny unemployment is a joke. good luck getting anyone on the phone to help you

Sounds like wrongful termination to me. You might wanna talk to a lawyer, not just for unemployment but to see if you have a case against your former employer.
