<prompt> Human: Last year my company lost a big client and had to lay off several employees.They kept me but early this year they lowered my 11.00hr to 9.50hr. Im living check by check so that really impacted my bill payments.Today I was told that starting Monday Im only going to work part time but they expect me to do the same duties I have full time. They also told me that if I want my full time back I should try to get a new client. I was thinking about doing a web page to offer our services but I dont think Im even going to be capable of doing all the duties I have in part time.If I resign so I can use all my time to find a new full time job can I file for unemployment?P.S. Im from California  <response>: Yes. You should put in writing that you object to these cuts in your pay and hours.Dear boss,I object to my hours and wage being cut. I request to be kept at my previous hourly rate and number of hours per week.Send it off and wait. Assuming that the answer is still no, you can most likely quit and claim unemployment. Google constructive dismissal. If significant negative changes are made to the employment situation, that is effectively a dismissal.
