fired a reporter who i caught plagiarizing and she ended up collecting unemployment because i had never officially told her she shouldn't steal other people's work. tried explaining to the moron at the workforce commission that i wouldn't have to tell a cashier not to steal money from the register but he didn't see the similarity.

Many states,most, have laws that you can only be denied unemployment through essentially criminal wrongdoing, not showing up for work, or coming to work drunk or high.

You can't be denied unemployment for performance in many states. It's cut and dry. I am astounded by how many managers contest unemployment and have no idea about the criteria.

Plagiarism is not a criminal matter.

In some states, unless you committed a crime on the job, or was a no show or drunk,you get unemployment.

well texas doesn't have such stupid rules that it takes a criminal act to fire someone without having them get unemployment. in this case, the workforce person was just a moron and i didn't appeal the decision simply because it would have eaten away too much at my already tight schedule and quite frankly, by that time i had realized what an ass the publisher was so i wasn't concerned with saving him any money.
