Hey Tim,
Sorry about the bad news. First, save a copy of the letter re: the raise.
Second, get a copy of the handbook. When you are talking with the VP, remain
calm. Attack the issue at hand, not him. It is a difficult thing to do
during an emotional time, but you have to leave him alone. As a VP, he
should recognize your intent of solving the issue and not blaming him for
the issue. That will help, but it might not solve it.
Unfortunately for you, I do not have any experience with unemployment for
advise. I do know that once you are eligible for unemployment, it does take
a few weeks for the checks to start coming in. Try not to spend money on
anything that is not a necessity. (sorry, that's my fathering skills coming
out ;) )
Best of luck!!

what do you guys think...First off I have been laid off and my last day is
Friday the 27, next week. Last week they sent out a memo to ALL ASSOCIATES
that we will receive a raise on our next paycheck and it is retroactive to
Jan 1st. Today was payday and I didn't get a raise! I ask the controller and
they said that you have to be here for a year to qualify for the raise, I've
been here for 10 months. The memo doesn't say anything about qualifications
for the raise. Now I am waiting for a meeting with the VP to find out why,
keep in mine that they never gave me a employ book or anything else. Do you
think it is ok to walk out if he doesn't give me the raise?
If I quite would I be eligible for unemployment.
