Recently my situation has changed and I needed to alter my hours a bit. My employer will not help me out. They came to me and asked me to quit. I do not want to because I could sure use the money and my work is not in high demand right now.

Do NOT quit - you will not generally qualify for unemployment!
The taxes they pay for unemployment to the state relate to the claims former employees have - they want you to quit so this will not go up
wait for them to fire you !

It sounds like you have a choice and your employer holds the cards. It sounds like you need to alter your situation. I don't know what it is. But work needs to come first because you need the money, right? And there aren't other jobs you can take right now? You cannot collect unemployment benefits unless your employer terminates you. I think you can but you have to wait at least 6 months but it will vary state by state. You can check on your state's web site. Look at unemployment benefits. That will give you a definitive answer. There will be a number you can call if you have questions. Your best bet here is to get an answer from the experts.

Whatever hours you were hired in at are the hours that both you and the employer have to abide by. But, if you do not want to quit, then he would have to fire you. Then you'd be eligible for unemployment. If your work is in high demand than you should be able to find another job quickly, so I would start looking.

The situation sucks, but I think you would be best to contact the unemployment department for your state and then try to find legal advice somewhere. I've worked in payroll for the past 20 years and I cant tell you how many times I've seen past employees who've quit get their unemployment benefits given to them. Even if you're denied you dont lose anything but time.

Unless you have a contract with a presigned resignation, they would need to fire or lay you off if your services are no longer needed. I cannot see any way they can force you to quit. This would also impede you filing for unemployment. Where I live, you are required to wait 8 weeks before receiving a check if you quit a job.

If you 'quit', in most situations, you will not be eligible for benefits. They would have to fire you/ lay you off for you to collect unemployment in most areas. There are some exceptions to this rule, and you should contact your local employment office to find out.

Quitting is becoming voluntarily unemployed and therefore makes you not eligible for benefits.
The employer does not have to accommodate your new schedule, it is either keep your hours or find a new job fast.

You should contact your State's Labor Department and check with them. There are certain circumstances where you could receive unemployment benefits when you quit a job. It is different in every state.

you wont be eligible to recieve unemployment if you quit, hang in there, maybe they will fire you, but on the other hand if they fire you, you maynot recieve unemployment if they have a good enough reason, like the days or hours you want to alter, if you have been coming in late, than they have a reason.

If you are working hours that you agreed upon at the start of your employment you will not get unemployment.
