Hey I'm in my 20's and live in the state of PA. I recently got a job at a retail department store as a seasonal part time employee. I received my schedule for this last week and I was schedules for 43 hours and as for my understand I was only suppose to be scheduled for a maximum of 31 hours. I looked over my schedule and saw that on black friday I was scheduled to work from 12:00 AM to 8:00AM with a 30 min lunch and I had to return back to the store at 4:00 PM to 12:00AM with a 30 min break. I had to wait to speak with my manager about the black friday hours. I told him that I looked over the schedule and several other people were only scheduled for 12 hours that day and I didn't think it was fair that I had to work two 8 hour shifts. He basically said those are my hours and if I don't like it I could find another job. l quit yesterday because of what he said because I didn't think it was fair to have to work two 8 hours shifts. My question is, is this legal for them to do this to me?
