<prompt> Human: Im working all days now, but just want to work weekends and am not sure what their reaction would be. They would say no if I asked, so I want to just be like Im busy I can only work weekends now. But Im wondering if I do that and theyre just like peace if Im sol or if I can collect.  <response>: Yes, they can fire you, and you probably would not be able to collect unemployment.Presumably, they hired you in part based on your availability and the shifts for which they needed coverage. If you are no longer available for those shifts, they may have no reason to keep you. Since you would be the one restricting your hours, as opposed to your employer suddenly changing up your shifts to times they know you cant work, in most states you would not be eligible for unemployment. I would suggest reading the basic eligibility requirements that are probably listed on your states unemployment website, and if you cant find the answer or its unclear, just call them and ask. You dont have to provide them any identifying information simply to ask a question, so its not like your question would somehow cause problems for your unemployment claim. Granted, they cant give you a binding determination over the phone, but they can certainly give you some idea as to what would happen. Just call them up, explain briefly what youve written here, and ask if that situation is one for which people are usually approved for unemployment compensation.
