Add Comment Question: I have been a successful bartender/manager for approximately 15 years, in a franchised environment. Last June I accepted a full time position with an independent bar and at that time received many hours. They told me that they only put 44 hours per week on a paycheque and the rest in cash. I also know that some of the part-timers are only paid cash without a paystub. Regardless, everything was going fine until the owners re-introduced a family friend/acting manager. I felt tension immediately and soon came to find that I was only scheduled three shifts per week. Back to back closes (3:00 am) immediately followed by an open (10:00 am) I normally don't mind a quick turn around in a crisis situation or covering for an unforeseen employee absence, but this became the normal schedule for me. Prior to this acting manager stating, I completely enjoyed working there. Needless to say, I never once missed a shift, covered regularly for no-shows and was never late. I came down with a serious sinus infection and immediately went to the doctor, was prescribed antibiotics and a steroid and provided my employer with a doctor's note. The doctor's note said I would be able to return to work in three days. I received a message saying I was taken off the schedule as "serious sinus infections" can take weeks to heal Within that week, I was coerced and intimidated into resigning.. Answer: A resignation must be clear and unequivocal. Further, your employer cannot tell you that you have resigned because you need time off of work due to medical reasons.
