Having unemployment benefits denied for a discharged employee involves more than showing that policy or handbook provision was violated. A good business decision to discharge an employee does not mean an Appeal Judge or Appeal Referee will deny benefits. If you discharged an employee you generally must prove willful and intentional misconduct and that is not as easy as it sounds. Even if you have the right conduct for a denial of benefits you must be able to prove it at the hearing which is where many employers make a mistake. Employers must have the right witnesses and right evidence in order to have unemployment benefits denied.
With Attorney Kenneth Carp and his representatives on your side your chances at a hearing increase significantly. One of St. Louis’ largest employers has a success rate of 85% at unemployment hearings as a result of our “Continuity of Care” program. Simply defined our “Continuity of Care” program distinguishes us from the non-attorney firms that randomly assign you different representatives for each hearing. At the Law Office of Kenneth Carp we strive to have the same representatives working for you, increasing your knowledge before and after you discharge an employee.
