What is the name of your state? IL
The company my husband works for laid off "indefinately" one employee from each department, citing economic reasons due to business slow-down. Of the 3 people in my husband's department, my husband was the most recently hired (he'd been there about 5 years) He filed for unemployment, and has recieved those benefits for approx. 2 months now (He's been looking for another job during this time, but the job market is tough here!)
Last week, he was asked to come back in to work. He was told one of the 2 remaining employees quit while the 2nd person was off for a week on vacation, and there was a backload of work to do. He went in, worked until Friday, and then was told he didn't need to come back the next week.
We've heard of this sort of thing happening before, but don't know what to expect or do now. My husband WAS obligated to go in, right? Either way, isn't this laid off-called back-laid off again going to wreak havoc on his unemployment benefits?
