Like seriously, time is money right? I’m sure most people can relate to wasting time on numerous applications before ever landing a job. If they set that into law, employers will probably be much less likely to reject applicants, and even when they do, you still get paid for your wasted time.
Edit: I’m not particularly referring to the application part alone, I’m referring to application + interview = rejection. People should get paid for someone calling you in, only to end up wasting your time. Hell, I could have spent that time better at the sperm bank.
Right, because “if you don’t get a job, you get to live in a cardboard box under a bridge” isn’t duress at all.
I’m not saying I’m for OP’s plan. I’m still thinking it through. But there’s nothing “voluntary” about working for a paycheck, or about applying to do so.
That’s what unemployment is for. :) It’s not on the business to pay applicants.
The last time I had unemployment, it was a lousy $64 per week, and only for 3 months no less. Unemployment is a joke.
Depends on your income before you were unemployed… My wife is drawing it right now and it’s something like $450 a week for her.
I was working for 6 days a week, 6 hours a day, for $10 per hour, for over 2 years. Yes, $10 an hour sounds like chump change these days, but this was back in like 2007.
Still…
Ah yes, only 17% what I make in a week at a job. Surely that’ll keep my household running efficiently
