Hello,
I work as a part time associate at a large retail chain. I only provide an availability of one four-ish hour shift a week as I have a fulltime job and it has been this way for many years. I get scheduled every day I'm available. I'm being told now I have to be available at least three days a week. The form we fill out with our availability says it is "recommended" we be available three days a week. I'm assuming I signed a contract or something when I was hired almost nine years ago, but I don't know what it says about availability. I've been given three options: increase my availability, move to a store closer to my home and increase my availability for them, or resign and reapply later if I can increase my availability. I just want things to stay as they are. Can they fire me? Pay me out? Move me to another store without me choosing to?
