I quit because the employer increased my hours. Am I eligible to collect California unemployment benefits?

I was asked to change my working hours. I was working 10am-8pm Monday – Saturday. I was then asked to work at 6am-6pm and work one extra day on Saturday. I was a salaried employee and signed an agreement when hired to only work 7.5 hours a day for five days. This put a big burden on my family and I decided to quit. Am I eligible to collect unemployment?

Hi Bob,

I’m going to refer you to this page of the California eligibility guide.

If you have more questions after applying this information to your situation…let me know.
