Good escuse to leave work early

[o803oVaDeR]

I just got a new job on Monday with Michelin. I have been on unemployment for a while. However, on my app/resume, I put I had been working at a friend of mine's company. This way it didnt look like I was unemployed. He vouched for me and all. I did actually work with him a little. He payed me under the table.

Anyway, I should have gotten my last unemployment check last Wednesday. I did not get it and recieved a letter saying I needed to go to the office because I didnt do my job search that week online. Even though I did. The Unemployment office will not see you after 3. I dont get off until 330 for the next 2 weeks while I am in training. I also will not get a check from the company that hired me until 9-12, so I kinda need the money.

What should I tell my job that I need to do? I cant say Dr apt, because they may ask for proof. I would need to leave around 2, so an hour and a half or so early.

What's more important, your new job or that one check... Be very careful.

Michelin is very strict on that attendence..

[o803oVaDeR]

Yeah, I know. I just wish there was an easy way to resolve this. I wonder if I wait to go up there on my day off in a couple weeks they would still release the funds to me then?

Have a friend kick your ass and say you were beaten and robbed.

Or go with car trouble

Try telling your immediate boss the truth and how you need that money due to the length of time before your next pay check. The higher ups don't need to know.

[Bronn]

yeah, tell the truth and be done with it...

Nope they will release it after it is processed by the office.

keep in mind that the new SC regulation to use their internet site to do 4 job searches has affected a ton of people who do not have access to a cpu, knowledge how to use the internet and bugs in the system( tying username/passwords to your account) now they are manually processing the claims to get the check sent 2 weeks maybe?

This is too risky...since the truth is that you lied.

[Brokenbad]

Truth works best here dude.

Who would blame you for wanting to make sure you get money?

Money is hard to come by these days. PLUS there are programs where you get unemployment and work.

My uncle is a state senator and he said that it was illegal for your employer to ask for a doctors note or something. You can simply refuse and they can do nothing. It is an invasion of privacy

The state does it. (Asks for Dr's note). But only after excessive absences.

This.

If a new employee told me that they lied on their resume about working and continued to lie in the interviews, they would be immediately released.

If you want to ensure that you keep the job, I would let the check go.
