Do you have to pay unemployment if they’re fired with cause? Because I’ve definitely seen (and experienced) constructive dismissal over some very petty things.

No. But aside from failure to show up on time or theft it can be hard to document cause.

  Apologies, I guess my terminology is incorrect.
  
  What I meant is that I’ve seen people written up for vaping ~2 feet too close to the back door or showing up <5 minutes late or any number of other frivolous things in hopes of avoiding unemployment payments.

    Of they can show that they’re not being treated the same as other employees who are making the same minor mistakes that may be able to claim unemployment.
