Temp agencies know they're vulnerable to people who think they can work for a few months and then take an Unemployment free ride. Most of the NYC agencies are small local businesses with just one office. They don't take kindly to people who file for unemployment, so think carefully before you do. You may never get work from the agency again.

Temps CAN collect unemployment. And, not only can temps collect unemployment but unemployment offices are now in the process of becomming One-Stop-Job Centers (i.e. they will be able to do not only pay unemployment benefits, but provide training and jobs placement as well).
But if you don't file for unemployment when you can't find work, you will never qualify for stuff like free network administration training. |

Anyone who has worked 20 weeks in the last 52 weeks and who is unable to find work has a legal right to collect UI, even if your last employer was a temp agency.
This is SERIOUS BUSINESS. If you are unemployed and you can't find work, you are legally entitled to collect UI, you need the money to last long enough to get other work and you may NEED the training available from UI to get other work. Lately, I am hearing of a lot of temps suing stupid temp agencies. So, I'm guessing that the "Big Giant Head" that all the temp agency girls run to for guidance has maybe advised them all to stop playing idiot fucking games with temps. 99.9% of the Temp Agencies in Manhattan don't have time for bullshit. And if a temp agency stops giving you work because you filed for unemployment when they didn't give you work, you scratch that agency off your list and you concentrate on the other more than 999 temp agencies in Manhattan (or you and some of your friends can create your own temp agency). |
