MO shared work program
...is a bit puzzling.
Essentially, my employer has reduced our working hours by roughly 28%.
State of Missouri is SUPPORTING my employer (on the theory that they're avoiding a COMPLETE lay off of anyone by slicing everyone) and the MO unemployment insurance is kicking in to "help".
Essentially, I work three days of week A, five days of week B, and three days of week C. Instead of 15 working days, I work 11, and unemployment insurance pays me for the other four...
...is how they explained it to me.
During the month of June, I was laid off four days.
As of now, my "unemployment benefit" is roughly equal to ONE days lost wages.
WTF?
...methinks it's time to start looking for the next thing...

WTF is right, I would never make it to work with that crazy **** schedule. New gig, heck yea!
More jobs out there, than hard working people like yourself, so go get them! Good luck cause the pay is LOW with so many folks like yourself needing to upgrade job/pay just to live.
I might have to sign on another year over just to have a job

If I recall correctly, unemployment pays you 1/3 of what your listed full 8hr no overtime pay would have been if not layed off. At least that is what KS unemployment was when I was on it several years ago.
Have no idea what "special deal" MO has made with your employer. But I'm willing to bet that it only states it will pay the unemployment rate and not full rate.

Our local Emerson plant does the shared work thing down here also. Our down days were usually a Friday here or there. The amount they paid out to us per day was equal to 1/5th of the weekly amount you would be paid if you were on full unemployment.
I always thought it was a good deal. We would get a three or four day weekend but still make 50-65 bucks on our off day. Your's up there sounds a bit more crazy on the scheduling than ours.
