What qualifies as employee misconduct?
Misconduct refers to purposeful acts that show an intentional disregard to the employer. For example, if you started a massive argument with a customer, caused a confrontation with your boss, etc., you would be ineligible for unemployment. On the other hand, things like inefficiency, poor job performance, poor judgment, lack of discretion and negligence are not misconduct. If you were fired for any of these reasons and your employer appeals your benefits, contact a Jacksonville unemployment compensation attorney.
