    What does your contract say? 

    It's that simple: if your terms and conditions state that you may be required to work at a different store, then working elsewhere is definitely on the cards. 

    And if you have a layoff clause, then you can be 'laid off' without pay. 

    It would be a rare employer who would pay you for two months when there is no work available. 

    And are you in a union? If so, talk to them.

    lay off or  shifts at another location is  typical practise in such cases, especially when  alternative locations are 'reasonable' and 'practical'
