My hours have been cut, my company is going to shut down
April 11, 2014
Q) My hours have been cut to 30..I realize I can claim for the difference, but my company is going to shut down very soon, should I wait and not use my weeks on the lower amount
A) You have a choice of applying for unemployment Insurance benefits to cover the difference of your lower wages now or wait until you are out of a job. The advantage of getting the benefits now is that it would enable you to not have a gap in weekly benefits when you are out of work.
