My boss won't put me on the schedule but won't fire me either?
Find answers to your legal question.

my boss won't schedule me hours because she has hired too many people and i have a limited number of days that i can work because i am a student. however i have not worked for more than 2 months now and she has no intention of putting me on the schedule, but she will not fire me because her boss doesn't want me to claim unemployment. is this legal? can they purposefully not schedule me my hours so that i will literally be foreced to quit?

You have limited days and hours you can work so she can use that as an excuse but not let you go is one to run by your State Labor regulators.

Your boss has "constructively discharged" you by not giving you any hours. Quit, and file a UI claim using those words - "constructive discharge." You will stand a better chance of having your claim approved. Good luck.

if you are part time you can't collect UB anyway sounds like they just want you gone, there is northing illegal about it

nope it's not legal, there will be a bare minimum amount of hours per week they will have to assign you, i have absolutely no idea where you live but this is the case in the states, UK, australia and canada off the top of my head. it should be something like 4 hours or so. Definately give legal hotline a buzz to verify.
