change of hours?

After coming back from sick leave, my position and hours were changed. I took the blow, and kept it moving. After business slowed, I was told that my hours would change again but I would be required to work (1) 10 hr day and the rest of the week, I would have to work 2 hrs past any time I have ever been asked/hired to work. That of course would cause me to pay out money for child care for my children with no extra compensation. Does this present a case for unemployment if I quit?



Hi Angie,

I can only make an informed guess based on what little information you provided.

I'd say no .. I think you would be disqualified based on what you told me .. the time to have raised a fuss would have been when you came back after being out on sick leave. And of course you always have the option of doing so now .. maybe your reasons include more compelling stuff than what you have relayed here.

I'm not clear though if your hours are just being changed or if they are requiring you to work two hour without compensation.
