I'm just curious. Has anyone had to file unemployment to make up for the reduced hiurs?

If you are coded “full time” and are not being scheduled an average of 30hrs/wk over the 2 week payroll period, contact BSS HR.
our store manager schedules associates for under 30 hrs and claims he/she can "do whatever he/she wants", nothing seems to happen to him/her.
Unless the directive negates the February corporate document, NO. BELK DOES NOT have SM’s! No manager, ASM’s nor STM’s have power to over ride corporate and legal mandates. Currently, all full time employees are promised as “signed” to 30-32/hrs per week.
Our store was given written notice the other day that effective immediately full time associates are only guaranteed 28 hours. Do you think this is from corporate or SM generated?? 28 hours. Really?!!
As another poster responded, “all full time employees are guaranteed 30hrs/wk. If you actually work for Belk, refer to the document you signed in February 2020. If you need a refresh, it’s in your employee file.
I'm full time and mine varies from 3 to 5 days a week anywhere from 21 to 35 hours.
As a ft employee I'm getting 34-35 weekly.
We had a store manager who would schedule full timers under 30 hours as punishment for calling out sick, she got fired last year.
A Full time associate should be scheduled 30 hrs or more per week.
Every state is different. I can make a whopping $15 a week and still file. Let’s say FT can make 5x that...they’d be cut off at $75. Unemployment is a joke.
I know some “flex employees” at my store that are only guaranteed 3 hrs/wk under the new Belk guidelines, and get 3 hrs now that Christmas is over, and they can’t file.
