That "good reason" would have to be "misconduct" by the employee, wouldn't it? And the burden of proof is then on the employer to prove the misconduct, meaning it can't be a "he said, she said" issue, but there has to be real proof.
Truthfully, I don't know much about unemployment compensation denials, because although I have been laid off before, and quit jobs before, I have NEVER been unemployed nor have I ever looked into drawing unemployment.
But from a quick reading of the content at the link below, I have to think that baseless accusations of misconduct that are the grounds for unemployment compensation denials simply aren't that common. That's not to say that there aren't a lot of cases in courts over such claims, I am just saying they shouldn't be common, And, why do I say that, because again, LOGIC would dictate that IF a company wants to dismiss an employee that it simply isn't that hard to actually GET the appropriate documentation in place to prove the claims of misconduct; and when that happens, the employee likely knows it. I have NEVER known an employee that was on the "measured mile" (a euphimism for the period of time when you job is in jeopardy and the company is documenting everything) and the employee wasn't aware, even if the company wasn't telling them such. Put another way; the proof is easy to gather IF the misconduct is real. If the misconduct is fabricated, no company in their right mind would pursue the denial...they would just allow the payments.

P.S. Caymen, I am looking forward to your story of your cousin's girlfriend's brother who was fired from a job, then denied unemployment compensation, all unjustly, by some evil, non-union company.
