ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area employer did not pay into unemployment

If the employer was paying them as a sub(no taxes deducted+ other rules), then they may not have a claim. If the employer did deduct taxes from the checks, then they should be able to recieve benefits if they qualify under other guidlines and the employer is in trouble.

In most areas, if they weren't employeed for 12 weeks, they don't qualify for benefits.
