Full Time Employees

[tommyboy81]

Just trying to figure out something. I figure each State may be different but I have to ask. There people I know that have been working full time hours for years (32+hours). Lately now they've ben working 20 to 25 hours. Is this wrong? Isn't there something that says that full-time employees can't work no more than what thy're supose to. Because it doen't seem right that my boss is making me work somebody 32+ hours because he's a full-time employee but she turns around and cuts FT employees hours. Seems like favortiism to me.

If I have to reword this i will.

Your cost of living is lower too! So I guess it balances out. Anything under 40 here is part time.

At my company full time employees have to work a minimum of 35 hours a week. It's to do with benefit packages, if they don't work enough then they will lose their benefits.

I got a guy thats just started working for me that got hired full time. I'm told by my boss that I can't work him part time hours. That it's not legal. But she's giving other FT employees PT time hours. For instance we have 1 girl thats been a FT employee for 2 years. With 40 hours a week. now my boss is working her 20 hours. That's what I'm not getting. I'm told not to do it but shes doing it.

Does she complain about it? Does she still get her benefits?

My wife sees a lot of patients who are uninsured, and during the questionaires etc... she finds MANY of them work for Wal-Mart, and they say the reason they don't have insurance is b/c Wal-Mart won't allow them to work 40 hours (just 38 hours EVERY week for years ) so the gov't has to pick up the slack and pay the lion's share of their healthcare...... It's really unfortunate, but it happens. If insurance wasn't an issue, the drop in pay from 40 to 32 hours for instance, wouldn't be "That" great, depending on the tax rate etc. in your area.


Sorry for going so off-topic in this off-topic discussion


EDIT:

What type of company is this?

Full time for me is 40 hours or more. I typically work about 45 a week....but I'm salary, so I don't see the extra $$$. But the 13% bonus should help

Its 40 hours here, but through magical numbers im a part time employee that works over 40 hours and sometimes 80 hour work weeks, but after 40 hours I don't get paid anymore regardless.
