Its only as defined for the purposes of the health care law.
Overtime still starts at 40 hours.
Jeez stop being dumb.
If you have a full time employee who works over 30 hours per week, with more than 50 employees, you will be required to pay for their health care or drop the private health care they now have and have them go on the New Health Care bill. Still having to pay the penalty of 2,000.00 per employee to put them on the New Health Care bill
As many business have less than 50 employees many will not pay for the health care or the penalties because they can't afford either one.
You then have to drop some full time employees and also make some of them part time employees.
This is going to effect the restaurant business and franchises big time.
If they cut their employees hours - they will have to hire more employees. That means fewer welfare leeches that I have to pay for.
What part of full time employess are going to be part time employeemnt and part time employees are going to lose their jobs are you not getting?
You can't live on just one job at part time employement.More and more people will have to work 2 or 3 jobs as part time employees, that's assuming that you can even find a 2nd or 3rd job at part time.
They can't afford to hire.
