Laura - Many factors impact whether or not this could be considered a legal matter, as well as the time frame. The best way to get the information you are looking for is to speak directly with an plaintiff's attorney who specializes in employment law and is licensed in the state where the situation you are describing occurred.

I was fired while I was pregnant. I was blamed for leaving work early and not getting permission from a supervisor when I obtain verbal request that I can leave due to pregnancy illness. How do I go about this in a legal matter? What is the time frame for filing a complaint?

Rose - That is a difficult situation. The unemployment office in your state will make the final determination regarding whether you'll be eligible for benefits based on information provided by you and by the employer. There's no way to guarantee a particular outcome. The best thing to do is go ahead and start looking for another job - as I am sure you are already doing - just in case the outcome of the appeal is not positive.

I was fired from a restaurant and denied unemployment. The employer told me I put in a tip on a credit card receipt, when actually the customer did it, although they called and could not remember doing it. I got fired for $10.00. I did appeal, but how will I win if its my word against theirs?
