Can a job legally do this?

If your job post the new schedule for the week and next to your name, you have no hours but on one of the days you saw that you weren’t scheduled, your job calls your phone asking where you are. You’re confused on why they’re asking because from what you saw you weren’t scheduled so why are they asking where you are? You say you thought you were off because the schedule said you were. You also have picture proof to prove it but they tell you that you are scheduled and make it seem as if you’re doing a no call no show when technically the schedule shows from what they posted, it can’t possibly be a no call no show when they didn’t physically put you on the schedule. Would that seem odd to you as an employee?

Well, I hope you took a picture of that schedule to tell them what it look like but they probably figured whatever your normal hours are would be for that day that they didn’t post anything but all depends on what type of schedule or bid that you were on and I think I would’ve probably called up about that one and I just assumed I had the day off

See but it’s not like that, I work in the hotel industry, so we will go weeks or even months, basically laid off not getting any hours. We work for a union so they call us and ask if we want to come in but you’re not obligated to say yes when they ask because you’re not scheduled. Usually when we’re scheduled they always post the days we’re scheduled for and when there’s no hours to give us, we don’t have any hours posted until further notice. So the fact that they did this is weird.

Oh ok, I would bring that up since it wasn’t posted they can’t say it was a no call no show because you were not scheduled

Yes, it would tell me either they are deliberately lying or they are total fuck-ups. It's no way to run a business. If I were you, I would be looking for something else.

Yeah, zero hours contracts
