We work 8 hour shifts, and most people work what they call 4/5ths, 4 days per week. Then, after a certain about of years depending on your shift (7 years for swing/evening shift) you can drop down to 3 days per week (3/5ths) and keep benefits. Which is what I was able to do the summer after I came back to work, thank goodness! Pretty lucky to work 3 days per week and have benefits for my whole family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515834 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 10:23:59 +0000 macintosh 2515834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other. My company is small and I'm full time with benefits, but I WAH 4 days a week. I only log my client billable hours, but I'm guessing I work about 30 hours, give or take. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515741 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 09:20:22 +0000 schubr03 2515741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote because my situation is strange. I work at a bridal salon and their part-time employees work only on Saturdays and Sundays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515707 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 09:01:08 +0000 snowjewelz 2515707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, sometimes I don't think I make 40 hrs, but I'm salaried so it doesn't really matter, since I also have the freedom to take off early/come in late for dr appt without having to use PTO. So I would need to request to become PT to see what that actually entails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515673 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 08:44:27 +0000 mrsjyw 2515673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything less than 32 hours a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515662 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 08:38:09 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2515662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less than 40 hours/week is part-time. But you keep benefits as long as you work 30 hours/week. Salary is prorated. I'm an attorney so billable hour goals are prorated too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515655 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 08:32:55 +0000 T-Mom 2515655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything less than half time, and you lose your benefits. I'm at 50% and I still have full time employee status with benefits, I just get my salary and PTO prorated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515651 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 08:29:47 +0000 Mamaof2 2515651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I will still be considered a salaried employee but will only get paid for 30hrs. I will still make xx/hr but now it will be times 30 instead of 40</p> <p>If I went to hourly they would have to pay for me for any OT which they don't like to do :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515649 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 08:29:13 +0000 raspberries 2515649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Full-time is 40 hours - but you don't need to be full-time for all benefits.</p> <p>30+ and you still get all benefits (but salary is prorated), 20+ and you still get STD, LTD, and life insurance (but no med ins or 401K.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515646 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 08:27:36 +0000 Adira 2515646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Yep. We essentially have an hourly pay, so they just use that to figure out your new salary based on your hours. And your vacation accrual time is prorated based on your new hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515644 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 08:25:32 +0000 regberadaisy 2515644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: so how does that work with your pay? Do they prorate it based on the hours? @Mamaof2: or will you change from salary to hourly then? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515641 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 08:24:18 +0000 Adira 2515641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Salary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515637 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 08:22:56 +0000 regberadaisy 2515637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: are you hourly or salary? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515634 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 08:21:26 +0000 Mamaof2 2515634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I misread your other post AND this one - haha</p> <p>FT is 40 hrs</p> <p>PT with benefits is 30+</p> <p>PT no benefits is 29 and less </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515633 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 08:21:05 +0000 Adira 2515633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here - anything less than 40 is PT. But as long as you work more than 20 hours/week, you retain benefits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-employe-consider-pt#post-2515632 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 08:20:18 +0000 regberadaisy 2515632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My employer considers anything less than 40 hours as PT. :/</p> <p>What does your employer consider PT? </p>
