? I never knew the base wage. I think it ranged from 5.00 to 7.50. Management was keen to obfuscate.

I worked full-time hours but
wasn't eligible for full-time benefits since I took a couple of (unpaid) vacations and wasn't aware that full-time qualifications were calculated based on the total number of hours worked in a year, not the number of hours I was scheduled for weekly. It would have been good to know this beforehand as it would have impacted my decision to take a couple of weeks off of work. If I was designated as full-time i would have been eligible for healthcare and some paid time off (at a rate of $7.25/hour so much less than I actually made in a night at work).

I received unemployment benefits after being laid off from this job in March 2020. I was still eligible based on my income when I returned to work part-time in April.
