Were you fired for “misconduct” and denied unemployment benefits by IDES? You’re not alone — and you’re not out of options. This focused strategy session is designed specifically for Illinois workers who were terminated or pressured to quit and now need a clear plan to fight a misconduct determination.
In this 1:1 session, we will:
- Break down why IDES denied your benefits
- Identify weaknesses in the employer’s claims
- Explain how Illinois defines “misconduct” (most cases don’t qualify)
- Prepare you for your appeal or telephone hearing
- Outline the evidence and talking points you’ll need to win
- Give you a personalized strategy based on your job, termination, and IDES letter
If you were accused of misconduct — attendance, performance, policy violations, customer issues, safety concerns, or anything your employer exaggerated — this session gives you clarity, confidence, and a strong plan to move forward.
Get the guidance you need to fight back and protect your unemployment benefits.
