At the tribunal, you and your employer will both present evidence and your cases. You essentially would have to show you were terminated for something beyond your control and that you are still entitled to receive unemployment. The employer would have to show that you were fired for cause and that it should exempt you from receiving unemployment.

I understand you’re dealing with an issue related to an unemployment tribunal. Can you please provide more details about what led to this situation?

I was unfairly terminated from my job as a security guard. I filed for unemployment and was denied. The reason given was that I allowed entry to an individual without alerting management.

Have you already filed a claim with the unemployment tribunal, or are you seeking advice on how to proceed with this matter?

Filed claim. Tribunal is July 10, 2025, at 8:30 a.m.
