So what do you do for a living?

Unemployment hearings, what's that entail and why does it happen?

I defend my company when ex-employees file for unemployment. Most of the time the hearing is conducted by phone, sometimes in person. It happens because people can't follow company rules and don't correct their behavior even when given multiple chances.

When a former employee files for unemployment the employer submits related documentation. If the claim is denied, the employee can appeal and there has to be a hearing with a GA DOL agent, the employer and the employee. Usually the outcome is the same, but it's a good way for a disgruntled former employee to waste some more of the employers time. People think that unemployment is check from some magical government savings account, but that's not how it works. I have unemployment insurance to cover me if someone wins a claim. As employers, we pay for that **** every single week, even if it's never needed. If someone's claim is approved, rates go up.

I don't know if that's what he's talking about, but that's my experience with unemployment hearings.
