I work as a bartender at a college town bar in the United States, it’s not huge but it brings in a TON of business as it’s right next to campus. We figure out the schedule by (the managers) printing out an excel sheet of the next week and having employees come in and mark off days they can’t work. We can swap shifts pretty much as we please as long as it’s approved by managers via the groupme app, so scheduling can get messed up easily.
The issue is whenever I get sick I just have to message people until I find a cover, and if I can’t then I have to come in. Recently, I got sick on a Saturday and couldn’t make rent because I couldn’t work. Is this shit illegal? What can I do?
