If a company fires you for lack of production and then calls you 2 weeks later with a lower paying job...?

Will this disqualify your unemployment since you were offered a job even though it is a significant paycut?

This depends on the state you are in and how much the pay cut is. 20%? You are probably going to lose your unemployment benefits. This is a dirty trick used by a lot of businesses to avoid paying your unemployment. Most people quickly saying something like "$$%$# off" and it makes the employers day. Then when you realize they cut off your unemployment and try to call back, they are under no obligation to honor the job offer you previously turned down.

I knew a guy who worked in Mississippi making 12 an hour as an A/C guy and was "laid off". When he filed for unemployment, his former employer called him and offered him a 7.50 an hour job cleaning rooms (it was a hotel chain).. He quickly turned it down to later find out he reported the offer and the decline and was no longer eligible for unemployment benefits in his state.

Good luck.

I dont understand why they would fire you for poor production, then offer you a job 2 weeks later. They sound like a shaky organization and apparently aren't too nuts about you.
I would look elsewhere.
I think they would have to offer you a lateral position and that would disqualify unemployment.
