Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland

My employer informed me that there would be no continued work for meand and that I would be laid off. We mutually agreed upon a final day of work. I later offered to stay past this day and help with continued work. He told me to finish what I could and stick to the last day we had agreed upon. I received a notice for appointment to resolve the issue that my employer says I quit voluntarily. Can I contact my former employer to inquire about my termination status to see if it was an honest mistake of incorrect coding or should I just prepare well for the appointment with unemployment?

No need to contact your employer. You should just represent to DLLR that you were laid off. Either in the initial intake or a hearing exam, if needed, that fact will come to light. Your employer has already said otherwise so that is what DLLR generally will go with. I would suggest getting an attorney just in case. Our firm represents people in unemployment matters but it all depends on what part of Maryland you are in as to whether we could take on your matter.
