I’ve seen quite a bit of this. many of the businesses I deal with that were deemed essential have had employees bail on them to collect state unemployment plus the extra $600/week fed handout. The employer doesn’t have to lay them off, they can just tell their employer they don’t safe at work, check off the box that says that when they file and it’s a done deal. They’ll be back in July, most likely. But in the short term, it’s been problematic for some of these companies.
