Company I work for is a bit slow now and they want to temporarily lay me off until things pick up. Can I collect unemployment and then get rehired eventually? Will it look bad for me or the company?

When I took UI many years ago I think there was an option for seasonal workers. I don't know what state you are in but you can look on their Unemployment website.

I worked for an agency in a school and collected unemployment each summer without issue (NJ calls this seasonal work). But you can only be on unemployment a certain amount of time and after that they start asking for proof that you're applying to other jobs.

Right. You need to tell them when you expect to get rehired. I claimed 8 weeks each summer without issue.

I think the issue would be that you have to certify that you are available and looking for work each week.
