I recently applied for unemployment benefits in California after being terminated from my job. My employer fired me citing a No-Call No-Show, which I believe was unfair. The day before my absence, I called in to let them know I was sick and wouldn't be able to come in. However, when I woke up the next day with a high fever, I missed their call and was subsequently terminated. Now, the Employment Development Department (EDD) is requesting a phone interview to verify my eligibility, and I suspect they want to discuss the circumstances surrounding my termination. I'm worried that they might classify my situation as misconduct, which could jeopardize my benefits. I feel like I need to provide evidence to support my claim, but I'm not sure how to do that beyond my word and my girlfriend's testimony. I'm hoping to find out if there are any specific documents I can provide to strengthen my case, like call logs or medical records.
