Preferance 2 and Relocation (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by ScIONSSB
Hey all, just had a question or two. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate the help. So with this LOA stuff, does that stay with my specific store location? I'm worried that the virus will continue to grow, and am considering taking the LOA. However, if this is the case, it is quite possible if not probable that I will not be able to make my monthly payments. I would more than likely have to move in with a relative. Would it be possible for me to move areas during my LOA and work at a new location? Option 1 doesn't seem to be the best considering I'm one of our stores newer partners and would more than likely get shafted the most when it comes to hours. Option 3 isn't the hottest of options either, but it could HYPOTHETICALLY help me continue to live my current life. Sorry for the rambling, thanks in advance for any advice.

On the last few pages, they do say that with option 2, if you’re willing and if another store in a different location has a need for partners, you can transfer or go to that store. But keep in mind that there’s a little fine print that says you are due back any time if they get overwhelmed. So in a way, you’re on STANDBY with option 2. Hope this helps.
Also I forgot to say, option 3 gets you the most money UP FRONT. So if you need a lot of money quickly, option 3 is kinda good. But if you’re newer, you probably don’t have a lot, if any sick/vacation payout.

With option one if your hours are below your avg and your gross wage falls below your states u/e total weekly amount/ you DEF. qualify for partial u/e plus the extra 600 til end of July
W 2/3- even though they say they’ll report it as involuntary reduction of hours due to biz conditions/ it’s not stated as a furlough or lay-off & I’m not truly confident we’d qualify for u/e— if we were guaranteed that/ then it’s the best option as you’d get your health prem. Paid for too, plus u/e compensation.
Option 3 pays out vacay but not sick time, cobra costs 900-1000 month so kind of $ to buy cobra for the rest of the year.... unless you just use the cash & already have health benefits and again not really sure about the ‘involuntary’ reporting & qualifying for u/e.
