Missouri employer lying about me quiting?
I am fairly sure I can win my appeal, but my real question is "Is there any punishment or recourse for an employer who lies (more than once!) to unemployment?" I know an employee can be charged with fraud if they lie about info, but what about a lying employER? Basically, he said I quit. The day I got fired, I even repeated to him "So you're firing me?" he replied "I guess thats what has to happen." He also tried to block my girlfriend from unemployment, which was stupid because she had worked there for 2 weeks (it was a temp position while the receptionist recovered from surgery). She had been at her previous job for 2 years so he would not have even been responsible for her unemployment but STILL tried to tell UE that she had refused a permanent position. He is a real piece of work... I know of at least a handful of other employees he has done this to as well. Also... Question number two... Can I request his UE claims be pulled? Like I said he has done this to at least a handful of other employees (said they quit after he fired them) and they all won. Therefore, it seems logical they would get suspicious at some point, right? Last, it is a tiny company (about 8-10 employees at any given time) He keeps people as long as they and act like slaves, so usually around 2 years when you start asking for raises and what not, you end up under the bus. I am just saying that to put "a handful of employees" in perspective. Not a lot of turnover, therefore, a handful of employees is a lot at his company. Anyway, any input (but pls- missouri specific answers would be most helpful) is greatly appreciated!
