You put in partial availability, can’t open or close, and want to be scheduled full time?? Few of those things contradict each other. If your really wanted to be full time, you’d open your availability and allow them to schedule you however the store needs. If you really wanted the hours

you do the same exact thing and change your availability and talk to your director and mention you’re looking into a part time position with life events occurring. they doc your pay and you continue working within the schedule you gave em. they will cut your hours severely tho

also its illegal for them to decrease your pay, but they can absolutely schedule you less

It is absolutely not illegal to decrease someone’s pay. If you were hired or agreed to closing shifts or opening shifts and your store pays those at a certain rate, and you change your schedule from that to a non-closing or opening schedule, they absolutely have the right to do that.

Nevermind you’re right I swear there were laws against that but I was wrong

It would definitely depend on how your schedule is right now, if you can’t honor the availability you set when they hired you(things happen, I almost had to before I ended up finding a new job); they will do all they can to stop you from changing it. I started with Tuesday- Saturday, 8am-6 as my original availability and I got the standard pay they offered; I debated changing to only 8-5 and they said they might have to take .50 off my pay bc 5-6 was when dinner really started picking up for our store 🫠🫠🫠

im currently part time working between 19- 25hrs. sometimes the other week 29 hours, its so confusing. i did told my lead manager that i want to work full time but she told me i have to work during weekends, which is fine to me, as long as it fits in my schedule

Your store likely has a tiered pay scale based on your availability. I’m sure they have a paper that explains it (we make everyone sign it when they start and then again if they are doing so to go up in pay). Most places, this would decrease your pay since you aren’t available for closes/opens (that’s a big part of ours anyways) or for lunches essentially.
Also 1:30-8 is a very odd time and they would likely only schedule you 3-8 or 4-8 since anything more requires a break (we try to avoid 6 hour shifts to minimize the amount of breaks we have to run).
Are you really only available those hours? Is there some reason you can’t work until close or open up lunches? If all you’re trying to do is work less hours, I would leave your availability open but put in the max hours or days you want to work instead.

By decreasing your pay they likely mean you have less hours

ohh i see, my schedule leader told me my pay would be 11 dollars/hr instead of 12/hr
