Here is his message:

”WE ARE TRYING TO REOPEN BUT I’M STRUGGLING TO GET EMPLOYEES BACK IN HERE. THEY ARE MAKING DOUBLE ON UNEMPLOYMENT WHAT THEY NORMALLY WERE. IT’S A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM”

So sad and not a good thing for reopening the economy. Serious mistakes Have been made that may well be the last nail in the coffin for small business.
Each state has different laws regarding unemployment. In CA. if you are called back by your employer and do not go...your unemployment stops! If the call back has less hours than you originally had, then unemployment will make up the different of the reduction. The $600.00 from the Feds may or may not have any impact as the way benefits are calculated they in general would only cover you for about 60% to 70% of your normal wage.
