Opening up does at least one thing: removes the ability for workers to claim unemployment benefits if the employer also opens up.
More zero-hour contracts? You betcha.
- downvoteme1 7y agoEven if the employer opens up, they will not call all of their workers back. So the workers who are not called back can still claim unemployment .
- LanceH 7y agoReduction in hours is a reason to claim unemployment.
- asdf21 7y agoI've never heard of that... in what state?
- sfkdjf9j3j 7y agoAll (US) states have partial unemployment
- dexterdog 7y agoWhat about reduction in salary for FTEs?
- LanceH 7y agoFrom Texas: "To be eligible for benefits based on your job separation, you must be either unemployed or working reduced hours through no fault of your own. Examples include layoff, reduction in hours or wages not related to misconduct, being fired for reasons other than misconduct, or quitting with good cause related to work." Also quitting due to significant change in work agreement is a valid reason for unemployment benefits. Every state is probably different.
