Can you cause an employer to have an orgasm by telling them you want to work for minimum wage and no benefits?

Well, you can work for cash all you want.  One time I accidentally checked the box that said I was ineligible for vacation pay and I got my vacation pay and my full unemployment benefits anyway and they never caught that.

You'll probably get minimum wage.

You want to be paid for doing nothing?

Get paid to do nothing, or not get paid to do nothing.  Sounds like a no-brainer to me.

Usually when you file for unemployment, the unemployment agency's concern is whether you had your hours reduced or eliminated, rather than whether the employee promised something they later didn't deliver. If you were working 20 hours a week and then were cut back to 10, you might have a claim. If you were working 20 hours a week and quit because the employer had promised you more hours and didn't give them to you, you may be out of luck because you quit. Sometimes if you have a case where you can establish that the employer created an intolerable working condition that forced you to quit, that might be convincing to unemployment, but this doesn't really sound like that. If your friend were suing the employer for breach of contract, your support might be more appropriate. If you are no longer working for this employer yourself and you want to write a plain facts letter stating what you know to be true, in other words, you can attest that you heard the employer offer something that was later not delivered, go ahead and do it. Do not write a letter if all you know is what your co-worker said she was promised. If you are still employed at this place and you get involved in this situation, the employer may not be happy with you, so tread carefully.

In the U.K when someone accepts an offer of employment from the emploer a binding (on both parties) contract is created, it does not matter at this stage that there is no written source, the contract is verbal or, more commonly, implied.\n\nHe is in breach of the contract between yourselves, did he even inform you of the cut before he administered it? It would be unacceptable for you to suddenly decide that you are not going to work all of the hours agreed after a few weeks and this is no different!\n\nIf you have not agreed to this wage cut then you have the right to repudiate (cancel) the contract with immediate effect (i.e. no notice required) as rate of pay is one of the fundamental terms to the contract. I would reccomend writing a letter of complaint detailing the breach of contract and requesting that the original rate be re-instated and any back pay owing be paid. Be careful if you have worked ther for less than three months as you will not have gained any statutory rights yet!!\n\nIf you do decide to stay at your job, it would be worth trying to get a trade union in as your employer doesn't sound like he likes to play fair.

Absolutely.  Employers can do pretty much what ever they want as long as it doesn't violate a contract agreement, local, state, or federal law (like discrimination), or in the case of union employees, their collective bargaining agreement.

Generally, no.  However, I had a girlfriend who quit and won unemployment because she proved that her employer overworked her and caused her health problems.  Her proof was that it took 3 people to replace her at her job.  Do you think your employer would need to hire three people to replace you?  Otherwise, you probably don't have a leg to stand on.  Furthermore, my girlfriend didn't win right away -- had to go through appeals and it took almost a year.  Can you live a year without income to fight unemployment?  \n\nI recommend getting a new job, then quit.

It sounds like to me that you have been taken for a ride. I would got to the labor board and file a complaint. You got fired, so what is she going to do about it and what do you care. You can cause her some trouble and you may get some back pay out of it. (unemployment)

A person can be denied unemployment benefits when they are fired for cause.  \n\nYou can appeal it, you don't KNOW if it's hearsay or not, but you DO know if there is a morals clause in your employment contract, or if you are an employee at will.\n\nSo if you're not happy, appeal it!  The employer doesn't necessarily have to PROVE that the alleged hearsay was true or not - just that something about you was interfering with your job performance, or the performance of  those around you.  \n\nLots of luck.

Yes. Legally you can be fired for that. Not all employers would do that, if they have a heart, but I know a few that would and have done it in the past. Sorry.

If your employer has an ounce of compassion and decency you shouldn't!\n\nSorry for your lose!
