Termination and Unemployment
After working in a company for 4 years, I was approached by the Executive Director and forced to take another job within the company or be fired. Due to the new job within the company, I was subject to performance review 6 months from the new job start date of March 1, 2001.
My employment was terminated with the company on May 24, 2001. Performance reviews are given once yearly for all employees. Does the fact I was under a new performance review date exclude me from getting unemployment benefits?

Getting Unemployment
I'm not an unemployment compensation lawyer. The few lawyers working steadily in this field generally represent employers or insurance companies. But, based on what I know, the key is your total tenure with an employer. Unemployment does not care whether you are probationary or not. As long as you are with an employer for a specified period, you get unemployment compensation, unless you were terminated for cause. Four years with one employer should certainly be enough time.
