My supervisor confirmed with me both verbally and through text that my PTO would be applied for my approved time off. She said it “slipped her mind” and I ended up with $80 on my check. So now I'm scrambling to make bills. And she couldnt care less. Had to go through her boss and HR to finally get it a week later. On top of all that, I had an equipment failure and needed a replacement cord. That happened prior to my week of “pto”, which was like march 22-26. I still havent gotten my equipment and am looking at bills like a towering tsunami cause since then I havent been getting paid. Cause I cant work.
So my question for you all, when do I go ahead and file for unemployment due to this? I'm still technically employed, just cant work and they still havent even sent anything out yet. My wife is losing her shit over this. I've been looking for other jobs but I unfortunately live in bumfuck no where virginia. So there isnt much to apply to. Most places that are hiring wouldnt be worth the gas it takes to get there. I even already started another job and had to leave after day 1 due to gas cost projected to be $100 a week and bringing home 380 after that. If that.
