이게 주로 시간제로 일하는 사람한테 일어나는듯 한데
자기 스케줄이 갑자기 없어 지는 거예요.
메니저 한테 물어 보면 답이 없어.
직장 가도 내 스케줄 없음.
그러다 지쳐서 안 감.
그러면 직장에서는 니가 일하러 안 왔다 하면서
해고가 아니라 그 사람이 그만 둔게 됨.
왜 이러냐 하면
employment insurance 안 줄라고요.
그 밑에 대답한 사람이
지속적으로 출근하고
메니저 한테 계속 연락하고
이런걸 모아둬서
나중에 노동청에 고발 하라고 함.
Age old trick in the US. They stop putting you on the schedule and stop communicating with you. When you go to file for unemployment, they say that you failed to show up for work, thereby quitting, making you ineligible for unemployment. Or, suddenly, you have a couple hours on the schedule again. They play this game until you get tired of it and go away.
Is it legal? Probably not. Does it work? Yes. Most people just get another job and go away. The manager keeps you off the unemployment rolls, which saves the company money.
If you want to fight it, apply for unemployment. Save everything. Save all of your texts. Save anything they text you. Check the schedules religiously and show up for work if you are scheduled. Apply for unemployment and go through the entire process. Your employer will deny the claim, saying you failed to show for work, thereby quitting, but you have your documentation for the hearing.
You can also contact your state’s (If this is in the US) Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, for advice. It’s free.
