I've never been unemployed a day in my life so I don't know about these things. My wife is a seamstress/tailor (and has been for years).
Very little work to be had now days in small town rural NW FL as a seamstress. I know her boss lady is losing money by keeping her at work, but loves her to death and won't "fire" her or let her go.
My wife just asked me this afternoon "if Carolyn fires me because business is so slow could she get unemployment until she found a new job"? My first answer was "of course".
Then she asked me if Carolyn would have to pay in before or after............yada yada yada. Now I'm sitting here asking for answers!
She has been with this store/tailor shop for a little over a year and thinks she is about to be let go.
Are/were there any pre-conditions other than working at this particular job for more than 6 weeks?
