If, due to covid19, your company mandates you take 2 weeks of unpaid leave, can you get unemployment for that time?

Any more info that might be helpful in this process? Im asking for a family member.

Just google unemployment benefits in your area and fill out the application.

Is there usually a 1 week waiting period before you can get unemployment benefits? Or am I confusing

sometimes. Either way you will get paid.

True, but waived in some states right now.

Wondered that too. Know someone whose co. was making everyone take 2 weeks of PTO whether they had it or not.

Absolutely. Use it.

If it's PTO, then they are being paid for it, so I'm not sure how that would work.

Wondering about forcing them to use it instead of laying them off.

How does that benefit the company if they are still paying the employees?
