Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Underemployment benefits in California
Does anyone know the current laws regarding underemployment benefits in California. The business I work for has recently cut hours and numerous employees (while still employed) have not been given any hours for more than two weeks. Is this legal and are there any actions that can be taken?

Re: Underemployment benefits in California
Employers have the right to set work schedules as deemed in the best interests of the company. Unless they are violating a union contract or they are showing favoritism for some unlawful reason, there is no legal recourse.
Check with the Employment Development Department to see if your are eligible for benefits.

The California Unemployment Insurance program providses benefits for employees who are partially unemployed. Contact the Employment Development Department to file a claim.
Both State and Fed law provide for certain notices to employees who are displaced by a mass layoff or a plant closing. More facts are necessary to determine whether your company may be violating the law. Contact me to discuss further or consult with an employment lawyer to review the spoecific facts of your case
