Ha! Imagine if that’s how it worked.

Every employer would offer their employee a 50% paycut instead of firing them. If this was acceptable, why stop there? Why not change the employee’s wage to $1/hour?
1 penny/hour?

He can apply whether they paid or not. She’s not the one who will have a problem if her employers didn’t follow the law, provided she paid her taxes.

Doesn’t work that way. I think you can get unemployment for part of it

It doesn't work that way. You will be fine for unemployment

$14 an hour is ridiculous. No, your employer can’t block your unemployment but but start looking for a new job now. You probably won’t need unemployment.

Shares suck, OP. Sign with a good agency and get a better job with one family.

No, it doesn’t work that way. All employers will block it if they could!

I’ve been working in a share for about 6months now. One of the moms decided to be SAHM and will be leaving the share immediately. They will pay me for 4weeks since it was in our contract. The other family doesn’t want to find another child but expect me to continue working for $14/h (I was paid $28 total). I told them I can’t do that and they either need to pay me more or find another child. If not, I will be leaving and while looking for a new job will file for unemployment. She says she will “block” it since I’m quitting. Don’t think it works that way but I might be wrong?
