I quit because I was asked to do some creative bookkeeping to minimize the company's tax liability. I did not work a notice because I was advised by someone in the same line of work that the longer I worked there after I knew what was going on, the more liable I would be when they get caught. I did not spell out why I quit in my letter of resignation. I put "lack of work and other personal reasons". Lack of work due to the fact that all employees' hours were cut 20% in January 08.
When I filed for unemployment, the DOL employee put the reason for quitting as "change in working conditions" and I put a statement as to what happened at the bottom of the page.
I have now been denied benefits. the claims determination letter states that I quit becuase I was not satisfied with the working conditions and that nothing had changed. "Therefore, you cannot be paid unemployment benefits."
What do you think the odds are that I could win an appeal on this decision? I don't like confrontation but, would go through it if there's a good chance to change the decision.
Thanks
