I have a question. So my husband just started this job two weeks ago, it's through a temp agency at a factory. it's third shift so overnights. well, last night he was sick and didn't go. I was freaking out because I don't know how that works when you're just a temp and haven't been hired on full time. Does anyone have any experience or insight?
@babymay2016 @lalamichelle0707 @aburch1527 hey ladies. I have been up all night sick to my stomach waiting for him to come home and tell me he was fired, I just got home and thank God he didn't get fired. they gave him the number to call incase he ever needs to call off and told him it was okay!
So this was a job the temp agency set him up with, correct? My boyfriend said that he may get fired from the job itself, but not the whole thing all together 😒 like my boyfriend stopped going to one job, but then still worked a different one. I hope it all works out girl 🙏 sending a prayer for you both.
men normally don't get paternity leave thru the temp service unfortunately. and the call in line will be the same for 3rd as it is for 1st you call and leave you information and why you won't be there for 3rd they have a voicemail set up normally. atleast at all the shops I've worked at have. I only work 3rds.
It depends. They may have him finish out the shift if he already started and then term him. A lot of times they give you a emergency number to call if you can't show up. Many temp assignments don't want you missing any assignments.
Oh shit! Well if they do say anything just make sure he mentions that and has the paperwork with him. My temp agency wasn't that strict about things and as far as benefits goes I didn't have any with mines so I'm not sure about that.
@lalamichelle0707 does it make sense that he would be gone this long? he started at 8:30 and he's still gone. I figured if they fired him he would be right back.
Men don't get any benefits for temp jobs @mrsgeorge. I used to work for a temp agency. If someone does not show up they are usually terminated..
I hope he doesn't too. it's 5 minutes from home and 12$ an hour. by the way, does anyone know how paternity leave works when you work for a temp agency? do men get the regular 3 days or?
@dang_dridri when he called the agency thismorning they told him how to call off was on his paperwork. but the paperwork they gave him was for first shift, not third.
If he does get fired the temp agency might just place him elsewhere but no that's not wise, next time he needs to call in, if the agency is closed he needs to notify the factory. I hope he doesn't get fired.
Yeah we just had to text or call one of the managers, my temp agency didn't have like a hotline or voicemail system or anything and we had reported directly to them so calling the company itself wasn't doing anything. Lol. All of them are different but I'm sure as long as he does or did that he should be fine being that they never told him how to call in or anything.
@aburch1527 his supervisor is a dick too. he literally called my husband fucking stupid, because he didn't put a clip on right. my husband was never even trained. they just threw him in there. so I'm afraid the outcome won't be good. he said the temps get treated like trash. @aburch1527
my husband and I both work at a factory and a no call no show would be a high possibility of being fired.. depending on your supervisor and HR.. I would have him talk to his supervisor and get the number for the call in line for the shop.. in case it happens again
@babymay2016 thank you. I'm so teriffied that he's going to come home at 5 a.m. and tell me they fired him. I have heard they will let people work an entire shift and THEN fire them.
@aburch1527 he didn't call the factory :/ the temp agency told him they were the ones to be contacted and they would call the factory. but the agency was closed.
Well I can see how a no call no show would look bad, but you can't really help that if they are closed. My boyfriend worked over nights too so maybe he will have an answer. I'm not sure if he is sleeping right now but I will definitely be asking him for you
@dang_dridri my husband said he was never told how to call off because he was originally hired for 1st shift and then they bumped him down to 3rd. so last night he didn't know what to do because the agency was closed.
your allowed to miss a certain amount of days as long as you call the factory and tell them you won't be there.
I worked with a temp agency and they allowed us to miss days and things as long as we told them. Of course a no call, no show is terrible. But I was still hired full time at the end.
THANK YOU SO MUCH @babymay2016 he didn't call the temp agency which is who he answers to, because obviously they were closed. I'm so scared they are going to fire him at the end of his shift at 5 a.m.
Definitely
