2nd Trimester
Voluntary Unpaid Vacation until further notice...
Thats what i was told i'm doing as of this upcoming Monday. Holy Crap.
I work for a construction company and the banks are funding... this is some scary sh*t. I'm getting 2 more paychecks and then will be waiting for the call to come back to work after the banks start funding again.
I suddenly have to urge to start returning maternity clothes.

Re: Voluntary Unpaid Vacation until further notice...
Ick that sounds crummy! Sorry you're having to deal with that! Hopefully they'll call you again soon!
BTW, how is it voluntary if they told you that is what you are doing...?
Is this some sort of way to get out of paying you unemployment??
Thats what it is. It's shady of the bosses to do this. My dad has been hiring a lot of guys who's bosses do this and just pay them under the table for masonry work, painting, roofing, etc.

Thanks ladies.. yeah this is crazy. I think my boss said it's voluntary because 1) he doesn't want me to go find another job and 2) he really believes it will only be a few weeks. he's had people that are really devoted to him so they would work part time unpaid for awhile if they needed to. He can be quite generous to people that stick tough times out.
The crazy thing is that i recently got a call from a superintendent at one of our subcontractors letting me know they'd love to have me there.. but all i could think about what how hard it would be to switch jobs half way through a pregnancy and then go on maternity leave.. especially since i only want to work part time after we have our boy.
Lots of stuff to think about now!
This just happened to my husband, a landscape architect. No $$ --> no building --> no work. He's been cut to 60% time for December... in January, he may not have any work.
...trying to not freak out...
yeah...its scary. NONE of our subs showed up yesterday... it definitely wasn't a good sign. guess i'll be making christmas gifts this year!
Who needs a home made baby bonnet or oven mit?!
Could this be conisdered a lay off so you can collect unemployment??
FYI the employer would not be doing taking voluntary unpaid vaca to get out of paying unemployement, as an employee a portion of your tax money goes into the state unemployement fund and that is where unemployment pay comes from, it does not come from the employer after you are laid off or fired
