Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois
I work part time in an office for the past 5 yrs, but recently my boss is calling me during my non working hours & asking me to do some work from home. She's also trying to write me up unnecessarily. It is becoming very difficult to work now. Please advise. Can I quit? Will I be eligible for unemployment?
1 Answer from Attorneys
I am assuming youy are a non-exempt employee in which case you are entitled to be compensated for the work you do from home. You do not qualify for unemployment if you quit unless your quitting falls into one of the exceptions Illinois has created. Theses exceptions are:
Sexual harassment on the job
Change in working conditions made the job unbearable
Abusive behavior on the job by coworkers or supervisors
Your boss breaks a law which affects you (for example: not paying you minimum wage)
A big cut in your hours, benefits, or pay rates
Your boss changes work shifts, causing child care or transportation problems
