I use the term "terminated". her employment was terminated immediately on the spot for cause.

Except these terms have meaning. If you're "terminated", you can usually get unemployment. In some cases even if it was for cause.

If you resigned, generally you can't, barring some specific circumstances.

getting unemployment is the least interesting or relevant part of this entire debacle.
It was just an example. We use these terms because they have specific meanings and terminated does not fit.
