I HAD TO HAVE KNEE SURGERY ON BOTH OF MY KNEES, CAUSE BY THE TYPE OF WORK THAT I WAS DOING. BEFORE I WENT ON LEAVE THE GENERAL AND AREA MANAGER TOLD ME THAT MY JOB WAS NOT IN ANY DANGER. TWO WEEKS AFTER MY SURGERY MY GENERAL MANAGER CALLED ME AT WORK AT TOLD ME THAT HE COULD NO LONGER HOLD MY JOB. THEN I TOLD HIM THAT HE KNEW THAT I WOULD BE OFF WORK ABOUT 4-6 WEEKS AFTER MY SURGERY. THEN HE TOLD ME THAT ONCE I GO SEE THE DOCTOR AND IF HE TELLS ME THAT I WOULD NEED ADDITIONAL TIME THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO LET ME GO. THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT I NEED THERPHY AND COULDN'T GO BACK TO WORK DOING THE SAME JOB THAT I WAS DOING. SO THE GENERAL MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE COULD GIVE AN 18 HOUR WEEK JOB. I TOOK THE JOB THINKING THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRAW PARTIAL UNEMPLOYMENT. THE EMPLOYER TOLD ME THAT I COULDN'T WORK THERE AND DRAW PARTIAL UNEMPLOYMENT AT THE SAME TIME. I TOLD THE MANAGER THAT I COULD LIVE OFF THAT. IN ARKANSAS IT'S HARD TO FIND A GOOD PAYING JOB. I QUIT THINKING THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRAW FULL EMPLOYMENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE EMPLOYER TOOK AWAY MY PARTIAL UNEMPLOYMENT RIGHT FROM ME. I THOUGHT IT DIDN'T MATTER WHERE YOU WORK AT YOU CAN DRAW PARTIAL UNEMPLOYMENT IF YOU ARE NOT WORKING 40 HOURS A WEEK! :mad:

First of all, please turn off your caps lock. Typing in all caps make your post very hard to read and is considered shouting on the Internet.

Now, for your question. Your employer does not take away your unemployment benefits. That is strictly up to the state. And it does not matter how many hours you work, but how much you earn. See here:
