my (expletive) company "forgot" to send my hours to payroll after my furlough. took weeks to get paid. not only did they do that they also informed the unemployment office that i had only been employed for 1 fiscal quarter therefore unemployment was denied. it took 5 weeks to sort out that mess. come to find out there is at least 3 other cases in which i know of that the company told the unemployment folks that said employee had only been employed for again only 1 quarter. it gets better... when i applied for cobra the insurance company denied the request saying they had been informed by my employer that i quit as opposed to being furloughed... that mess also took around 2 weeks to sort out.
