NEW YORK UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - FALSE JOB APPLICATION

In this economy, the falsification of resumes and job applications is sometimes suggested...there are even web sites that demonstrate and encourage job applicants to do so. When employers verify a job application and discover, before employment, that there was a falsification, the employee usually will not be hired.

However, when employers verify a job application and discover, after employment, that there was a falsification, the employee usually will be fired and, for purposes of unemployment insurance, the falsification of an employment application may, under various circumstances, constitute misconduct.
