me and many others were not able to get 40 hours this week. the work place would close an hour or two earlier than scheduled and never have any mention of it on the physical schedule thats updated every morning. yesterday i was home 2 hours earlier than expected, and an hour earlier for today.
we were all listed for 6-8 hour shifts on our online portal, but some of us got as little as 4 and a half hours. im having to stretch my budget now because of this. no busy work could be given, as nothing was left to do once everyone but a single closing manager who only closes and not handles tasks was there to make sure everything is finished “on time” which is far earlier than needed.
is it even legal to schedule hours longer than needed, than have them finish and leave before the period ends? it disrupts not only ones expected hours of the day personally, but also their paychecks. im missing 8 hours from my usual 40.
