I. Remain Calm and Don’t Get Down.
Most people get fired at some point in their lives. If you look at any successful person, you will see that they have risen from a string of consistent failures. They keep at it until they hit it big. Once you are fired, you have several things to accomplish. You will be able to better accomplish them if you remain calm. Others are more likely to help you if you keep your emotions in check.
II. Day to Day Financial Concerns
You have just experienced a big drop in your income. You have experienced no decrease in your monthly payments. The bank will still want the mortgage payment and the lawn care people still expect payment for keeping your yard green. Determine how long you can manage without a job paying what you used to receive in salary or otherwise.
A. Remember the Steps Above
If you’re smart, you've followed the recommendations of the previous section and ***embled your documentation supporting your case. If not, go to the previous section and begin ***embling the recommended documentation.
Don't sign any documents until you've had an attorney review them. Your employer may want you to sign documents related to your discipline or termination. If this is the case, politely refuse and indicate that you would like to review them with your attorney. Obtain a copy of anything that's presented for your signature.
B. Unemployment Compensation
Consider filing for unemployment compensation. In Ohio, you can file for unemployment compensation via telephone, the internet, or in person. It's generally a good idea to do this as soon as possible. It may be your only source of income for some time. Some consider this to be welfare. Go back and look at your pay stubs. You’ll find that you paid quite a bit of money into the system to protect against losing your job. You have a right to that money, so go get it.
C. Health Benefits
Getting health insurance for you and your family is not cheap for individuals. You can do a lot better if you are part of a large pool of applicants. This is why your employer can offer it to you cheaper than you can get it on your own. Upon being let go from employment, the law requires that if your employer provided you with health insurance, you can continue that coverage for a time via what is called a COBRA
