Oh no! That's terrible news. I hope he finds something else soon.

These are tough times for many. At my company there were lay offs as well. My mom was let go, and my son almost was. I've been working hard to put away 3 months income and looking for other work possabilities just in case.

Good wishes and quick work for all of you!

I hate it when they knew and just didn't want to tell you. I hope something else comes along soond.

That sucks.

See if you can apply for UI online. Much easier than dealing with the phone or going to the office.

Crap. That sucks.

**hugs** I'm sorry. That stinks. I hope he gets a better job soon.

Someone told us he can't apply for unemployment for a week-he will call and check tomorrow.

The horrible thing-we have no savings.

Hoping and praying that tomorrow will bring good news of another position in the same company.

Here is the online application link.

If you scroll almost to the bottom of the page it says

Quote:

Waiting Week

The first week you are eligible for UI benefits is an unpaid waiting week. You must meet all of the weekly eligibility requirements during this week to be credited for an unpaid waiting week. You must request payment and report your eligibility by calling the Colorado Unemployment Benefits Line (CUBLine) or visiting CUBLine Online on time to receive credit for your waiting week.

I was laid off on a Wednesday and had to wait until Friday to file. That week didn't count because I was paid for it. The following week was my "waiting week" and the week after I started receiving benefits. I had one unpaid week, which was ok because of where it fell in the paycheck calendar. I also was paid out for my vacation time and 2 weeks severance.

R called HR today and spoke to the manager. There are 2 other jobs open and potentially available to him.

The HR guy is going to contact the manager of those jobs-and my husband has worked with him for the last 3 years and feels he has a good relationship with him-so he is feeling pretty positive about it all right now.

The amazing thing is both jobs pay better-and have a better schedule. What a blessing this may turn out to be-

Should know more this week-keep your fingers crossed and pray that this comes through.

Nephy, while I hope that these pan out I strongly suggest he apply for UI today. It's much easier to stop it than start it, and his one week waiting period will start sooner than later.
