We are an at-will state. They can reduce your hours, fire you, make you work more hours, etc. You're free to quit and find something new.

But you can also file for unemployment for a reduction in hours. Workplaces have to pay more into unemployment if they have an employee that files for it, so if you tell him you will file for unemployment for the reduced hours, he might back off.

Workplaces only have to pay more if they let you go without cause. Not being present is a cause.

If your still exceeding like $400/week you will get nothing still from unemployment.

The only thing that made me think a call to the Department of Labor may be needed is the state sick time law and if there are any statute around that in term of firing. Other than that, you are correct, I can fire my employees because I didn’t like the hat they wore.
