N.C. Employees May Qualify for Unemployment Benefits in Equivocal Situations Under North Carolina statute, employees who leave work for a reason other than good cause attributable to the employer are not eligible to receive unemployment benefits.
What happens when an employee is terminated for absenteeism?
When an employee is terminated for attendance, unemployment approval depends on whether or not tardiness and absence qualify as misconduct according to state guidelines. Your state’s unemployment agency will decide whether you are eligible for benefits or not based on the level of misconduct your state assigns to absenteeism.
