Fired from job: Legal advice please?

Category: Law & Legal

Just found out this morning that grandson was fired from his one year job in New York with Sam's Club.

He was asked to sign a paper when terminated which he did NOT fully read.

Only after getting home did he realize that he had signed away his right to collect unemployment.

I have not personally spoken with him yet but I want to help him out.

Is there any organization in New York where he can get legal advice?

Thanks for any advice/help/suggestions.

No, if he signed a contract with out fully reading it then its his own fault

The 1st lesson your grandson will learn from this, is that you never sign anything till you read it.

For your grandson to be eligible for UI, he will have to verify that he was not fired for cause or that he did not quit. At this point, you do not know the reason of Sam's firing him.

This is the link on filing for UI in NY. It also has a FAQ that might answer your questions.

That paper must have said that he was quiting. Pretty stupid move to sign something without reading it but he can try to get the UI office to believe that he was in fact terminated and didn't quit.
