Evidence for Unemployment:  Tip #006

Evidence for unemployment can take on many different forms. For some, this means seeking a positive review, while others want copies of a video tape. That said, don’t underestimate the power of the spoken word.

Unemployment Tip # 006 –  An Applicant’s testimony can sometime be more important than other forms of evidence, like a document, e-mail, etc.  When faced with an appeal, verbalizing facts in a precise order can help Applicants win their appeal.”

After pinpointing one’s own testimony, then start the process of collecting evidence.  Perhaps this means making a decision about a subpoena. Either way, here are a few examples of evidence:

  • An employee handbook,
  • Job posters,
  • History of other employees in a similar position,
  • Positive performance reviews, etc.

Assuming evidentiary rules are followed correctly, when a person or employer submits evidence, the unemployment office will mark it with a watermark and return it to each party. Usually, this is done using a yellow envelope.
