What reason could be given when unemployment wants to know reason for separation? We don't want to prevent her from collecting.

I've always found the truth is best. If you separate her because she is unable to work due to her health then that is what it is.

You always tell the truth in unemployment compensation claims for several reasons.

First, your organization pays for unemployment insurance. The rate you pay is determined by the number of claims against your company. The more the claims experience, the higher your UI rate.

Second, it's against the law to falsify claims.

This is one of those all too common situations in HR in which trying to be nice could wind up biting you big time.

You simply state the facts and let the UI people decide. It's not your decision to make.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
