Yes your right the employees and employer both pay into a Unemployed beneifts fund. The person has to work at a company for a year before they can stake claims to the benefits after being let go. However they cant just quit and get the benefits. I still think its wrong to approach an employer and asked to be laid off just so you can collect.
I agree, but I also know employers who were angry with an employee and completed the paperwork that they were fired, simply out of spite.
