Question

Which of the following employees is most likely eligible for unemployment insurance? A. Joe is fired for continually refusing to wear a hard hat in a restricted area in violation of company policy
B. Kathy quits her job because of a pervasive and continuing hostile environment
C. Mike quits his job as an English professor because he’s insulted that a new hire in management is getting a higher salary than he does
D. all of the above
E. none of the above

Answer 1

The best answer would be B. Because Kathy is working in an unsafe environment that she cannot control. The best option for her well-being would be to leave her job. She would be more likely to receive assistance for this reason. As for mike he quits his job because he feels it is unfair that he is not making the same amount as another employee. This alone isn’t a valid reason to terminate employment. Joe would be least likely because unemployment benefits are not typically given to those who are fired for violating the company’s safety policy.
