It's so that they don't have to pay out for unemployment. Instead of letting you off or firing you, they just don't schedule you and that forces you to quit and they don't have to pay out for unemployment...

And on top of it many companies are given government subsidies to them for you appearing on payroll for "employee retention". Make sure you get yourself taken off of payroll!!!! Could screw you over at tax time if they haven't.

Absolutely should be an illegal practice.

Unfortunately it is =(

My husband was denied a scholarship for 5 years because he was incorrectly listed as a staff member at a place he was illegally forced to quit from in 2016. It took him 4 months of harassment until they took him off payroll.

Another place he worked at "laid him off" very suddenly after he discovered that every single person who had ever worked at the business was still on the payroll, even people who should not have been on the payroll in the first place.. the owner even tried to fight him being able to get unemployment even though my husband had a letter from them saying the words "laid off" ๐Ÿ™„

The owner constantly bragged about government benefits for his "employee retention". This place had an extremely high turnover rate so it was complete bs and the owner was just milking the system to pay off his personal debits.

And make sure all correspondence is to their professional email address if ine exists, also cc HR. In the event it goes to court you'll need proof of everything and email printouts are perfectly acceptable for exhibit A.
