Okay, not sure about this one. Are you part of a union? Are you under contract? Are you under a collective bargaining agreement? If not, unfortunately, employment is "at-will" in Wisconsin.
They can refuse unemployment all they want -- you have to apply and your state's unemployment after reviewing your side and the employer's side, will make a decision. Try your state's unemployment dept and ask this question. Contact the Wisconsin Unemployment Insurance Division. http://www.dwd.state.wi.us/ui/
