To make a long story short I had a dr’s appointment out of state. My husband had forgotten to request off work that day to watch the kids and called in the morning of his shift.
On his next scheduled shift they told him he needed to go home until I provided a dr’s note to them to excuse his absence. I refused. I told them it was none of their concern as they’re not my employer. And my husband didn’t even go with me. He was at home with the kids!
He asked them for “verification of termination” since they said they would not put him back on the schedule until I provided a dr’s note (which we told them would NEVER happen), and they proceeded to tell us that he’s not fired. He just won’t be scheduled anymore. And that they will not provide documentation that he’s been let go or why. What the fuck?
Is this legal? What the fuck do we do? We cannot survive off of my income alone and we can’t file for unemployment without documents from these people who refused to even give us pay stubs at one point.
Edit: he’s been looking for another job for over a month. Construction, city jobs, MCDONALDS! Literally anything and it seems impossible to find anything that can sustain life 🙁
