After almost 3 years as a Co-Manager I was terminated for a reason that would not prevent me from receiving unemployment insurance. Now Forever 21 Retail Inc., is telling EDD that I was not their employee. This is preventing me from going any further with processing my unemployment claim. Today is 6/25/2013 and my last day worked was 5/18/2013 and I filed my unemployment claim just one week after that day. I've had to fax paycheck stubs and W-2s to two different people in the unemployment office just to prove that I was, infact, employed by Forever 21. Now the unemployment office says they need to get back in touch with Forever 21 to tell them they have proof that I was their employee, and that could take over a week. How is Forever 21 getting away with this? Are they trying to stall the process in hopes that I get another job so that they won't have to pay? This seems like completely unfair business practices!
