Worker was only here for two weeks–should we challenge the unemployment claim?

05/18/2015

Q: “We employed a person for less than two weeks, and were able to notice she was not a good fit for what we were looking for. This person filed for unemployment and we appealed, providing some information about why she wasn't what we wanted. We talked to the employee about our expectations, but she wasn't able to perform. She still got the unemployment granted. Should we appeal again? There isn't a probation period to make sure a person is what she claims to be.” – Raquel, Alabama
