Per Diem Scheduling Concerns

Summary

Per diem employees often face scheduling challenges. If your boss is unresponsive to emails or texts about available hours, consider addressing the issue directly in person or via phone. Understanding your rights and responsibilities as a per diem employee can help in resolving such issues. If the problem persists, consulting an employment attorney for personalized advice may be beneficial.

Im employed per diem position. I've been working this job a few months shy of a year. With my per diem position, my boss schedules full-time and part-time employees for the month. The shifts that are left open are sent to me every week. I then choose the hours i would like to work. I have been sending text messages as well as emails to my boss, for maybe the past month, kindly asking her to send me available hours. She has not replied to my emails or text messages. I recieve other emails from her not relating to this. The emails i recieve are emails she sents to all employee's that work for this company.
Hi ****! It sounds like a frustrating situation. Have you considered discussing this matter directly with your boss in person or via a phone call? Sometimes direct communication can resolve these kinds of issues more effectively.
