Well ... You had to pass the law, to see what’s in the law.
Who would have thought ...?
everyone gets half of a job. keeps the unemployment rate down.
It’s obviously big evil corporate staples fault.
I’m only allowed to schedule people for 29 hours a week - tops. Above minimum pay, but no benefits.
This past year they dropped the Flex Plan for ‘part-time’ employees and reduced my once $1,300.00 Flex plan down to $500.00.
All due to ‘complying’ with Obamacare. It has been a nightmare in so many ways...but we’re still getting the job done - which amazes me every day. (I have an awesome staff who, ‘get it.’)
Papa John’s has no health ins plan even for their managers who put in 10 hrs 5 days a week, much less the PT workers.
That's fundamental transformation for ya.
This prevents joblock baby. Yeahhhhhh, you get to use those extra 15 hours a week sculpting and painting and whatnot. What happened to “joblock”? How come nobody talks about it anymore?
The headline also describes the far-left, IMO
wrong thread, lol
Most companies will fire employees who continually work more hours then they are scheduled. That’s why we have time clocks, etc.

Large$t Healthcare Firm: Obamacare Working...
As a salaried employee, I have the luxury of not keeping track of the hours I work. For example, I stayed in Manhattan last week preparing a presentation for an RFP our company is competing for. Our workday spilled into the late evenings, including dinner and drinks, as we worked on our pitch and then we collaborated from home over the weekend fine-tuning it through Adobe Connect sessions. We easily spent 80-100 hours preparing it and nobody on our team was whining or bitching about the hours worked. For us, it's rewarding work, especially when we win the bid and bring large contracts to the company (and commissions to ourselves).
People get so hung up on the hours they work and whether or not they are getting "compensated" for every minute they are "on the clock."
No wonders employers are gun shy about the hourly employees. They don't want to expose themselves to litigation so they are extra careful. This is not good for the workers, who find themselves expendable - just a cog in the machine.
If you are self-motivated and want to live the American dream, pursue professional; commission-based; or managerial work where you are "exempt" from these ridiculous labor laws - which only serve to keep YOU down.
