I was in the same situation – when i called they said I have to wait until I was officially laid off. Then there was a week waiting period.

Ive been working for the same AC company for about 1yr and a couple months full time but for a month or two only about 10hrs a wk. They dont want to let me go or fire me because it will pick back up just a matter of when. What do i do quit, ask my boss to lay me off or what cuz i need the income?

I was laid off and hired in the sameday, lucky for my misfortune. I won’t start new job until two weeks later , Can I collect unemployeement for the two weeks. Also my employeer will not give me a letter stating why I was laid off.
