Question

A) Sandra voluntarily left her position as a cashier at BSC to pursue a new career opportunity.
B) Mike was terminated from his position at BSC due to chronic absenteeism and violating company policies.
C) Olivia resigned from her position at BSC because she was unhappy with her work schedule.
D) Toddrick had worked for BSC for seven years as a welder in its trailer division but was let go when BSC decided to stop making trailers because that division was losing money.

Answer 1

Out of the workers from Blazing Saddles Corporation, Toddrick is the one entitled to collect unemployment benefits as he was laid off because the company ceased operations in his division, which was not due to his fault.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Blazing Saddles Corporation (BSC) is covered by the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA). To determine which worker is entitled to collect unemployment compensation benefits from BSC, we have to look at their circumstances of leaving employment:

Sandra is unlikely entitled to benefits because she voluntarily left her position to pursue a new career opportunity.

Mike is not entitled to benefits, as he was terminated due to chronic absenteeism and violating company policies,

which can be considered misconduct.

Olivia resigned from her position due to dissatisfaction with her schedule, which typically does not qualify for unemployment benefits because it was her choice to leave.

Toddrick is the one likely entitled to unemployment benefits. He lost his job due to the company's decision to close a division, which is not due to any fault of his own.
