aint it true that if your part time, and you start working about 40 hours, arent you supposed to get benefits and shit?

 

[Likwid]

Depends if your workplace offers benefits or not.

well, working over 40 hours a week should be overtime for a "part time job". also, working over an 8 hour shift should be overtime.

Not if they keep you classified as pt. But if you put in 40+ more than 2 or 3 weeks str8 I would bring it up to HR and they will either re-class you to be FT with whatever FT benefits are available, or they will keep you PT and cut your hours back to what they were.

So it's a double edged sowrd really. You can speak up but then they will more than likely cut your hours back and you lose the hours you had been getting, or you can maybe be moved to FT but then you HAVE TO WORK 40+ hours or risk being moved back down if you don't.

Any other questions you can pm me if you want. I work in Payroll and have for 12 years.

depends on state law, but that usually doesn't apply to PT. Example could be if someone is a PT employee working 20hours a week, as long as they don't go over 20 it doesn't matter when they get the hours it could be 2 10 hour days and it's all good.

40 hours a week is full time. Theyre screwing you.

real talkage. this happened to me once. I was classifed as Part Time- 30 hours a week. For a couple months, they had me working 40+. i asked my boss. she asked her boss. then all of a sudden they start telling me that I shouldn't have been working so much and that i needed to stick with my 30 hour schedule.

been there also, except They cut me down from 40 hours to 38 and still had the nerve to say thats pt. Im so glad I walked out of that place.

39.75 hours is PT, it sucks but that is how companies get away with things.

32 HOURS OR MORE IS FULLTIME AT MY JOB BUT OVERTIME IS GIVIN IF YOU WORK PAST 40... BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO KEEP UP THE 32 HOUR A WEEK AVERAGE OR YOUR BENEFITS IS TAKEN AWAY..
