[NJ] [NJ] What should I expect at my unemployment tribunal?
I was unfairly terminated from my security guard job. I filed for unemployment and was denied—reason: I allowed entry to an individual without alerting management.

At the tribunal, both sides present evidence and testimony. You’ll explain why the termination wasn’t willful misconduct and why you still qualify for benefits (N.J.S.A. 43:21-6). The employer will try to prove you were fired for cause to disqualify you.
