Ahhh! Possibility of being layed off from work....help!?

Question

Ok, so a guy from work called me today and told me that I haven't worked for 8 weeks, and that if I dont work within the next 4 weeks, that I will be layed off. This isnt fair because I keep calling in to work, and they said that I'm not scheduled. I havent asked for any time off within these 8 weeks. Therefore I might be layed off and it isnt my fault. Please help me! I really want to keep my job!! =[

Answer 1

Just show up at work and put them on the spot.  They will have no choice but to put you to work.

Answer 2

Call your boss/supervisor and ask if you can be trained for something, or if you can even work just once. Generally, you have 12 weeks to go without working before you get layed off. If you work just once in those 12 weeks, it starts over (if you were to work today, the 12 week countdown would start over). Good luck, and remember to explain your situation thoroughly to them, without ever stating that you "could really use the money".
