Employee quit voluntarily - gave written two week notice. Then, the Monday after the last day worked - went and filed for unemployment.
This former employee did speak to owner, stated that just a "few weeks" of unemployment were necessary in order to "get back on their feet", and asked the owner not to contest the claim. Also the former employee told the owner that if the company fought the claim, the former employee would not receive the unemployment claimed.
Just received "notice" through the grapevine, the former employee will be asking for a payroll audit or payroll tax audit. This former employee was in charge of 99% of the payroll (everything but signing a few of the checks). What benefit can be derived from requesting the audit?
The fact finding hearing is tomorrow, 8am, so I'm in a bit of a dilemma. FYI, I'm the person who replaced the former employee, so I'm not in possession of all the facts of the past reports and everything yet. I can't find where she kept hard copy files of past payroll reports filed (federal or state)!
