<prompt> Human: Before I start I should say this isnt for me exactly. My girlfriend just got a job at Chipotle a little over a month ago. She told them before she was hired she would need special days off for personal reasons we wont get into. These are only one day at a time, usually a month and half in between, and like I said, she gave them a heads up before she was hired. Now about last week she wasnt put on the schedule, so she started freaking out and trying to get in contact with her managers. None of them replied until she went to the store and talked to them face to face. At that point he said she was still employed, but they would probably need her at a different location. Last night her work messaging app stopped working, and one of managers finally responded to a text. Their text said were Im sorry employee be we dont have the hours to have and we decide to let you goIs it even legal for this be a reason of termination? We live check to check and knowing this 2 weeks ago at least would have been the moral thing IMO, so she could start applying at other employers. Im just looking for some answers, as we are planning on going to talk to a manager in person when I get off of work.  <response>: It is perfectly legal for Chipotle to lay her off because they dont have enough hours for her. The employer can make a good-faith effort to honor unusual hours requests but is not legally required to create a custom schedule that works for a specific employee. It is not legal to be laid off because you are claiming guaranteed work benefits like FMLA, but that does not seem to be the case here.
