Nope, being fired puts the onus on the employee as doing something not compatible with company policy, thus requiring termination. I was denied immediate unemployment bc of being fired and that was the exact reason given.
The difference is being voluntarily let go by your employer, not bc of 'policy infractions' but for extenuating circumstances out of your control, ie - not enough work or sudden loss of contracts etc. These are the standard not 'being fired' not bc you refuse or decline to follow / adhere to company policy.
