[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 571835"] While I was a loader (2004-2007) I always wondered why full time was 8 and part time was 3.5, I figured it should be 4 also. When we take personal days we got 4 hrs (sick days too) paid time, so it really doesn't add up. However at that time I was getting 5 hrs or more most of the time. Granted I was doing 11/1200 (or more at times depending on how heavy my mall was haha) pieces just about every morning and those types of pick offs don't really exist currently due to volume drop off at our building. During the summer I was under 5 (unless it was really poor staffing) as they are typically cutback months but as soon as the fall hit it was business as usual (24-25+ hrs a week). Now I notice some people leaving before they even hit 3 hrs (unless they're starting earlier than others). However if they agree to leave thats their business. They are only guaranteed 3.5 if they want it. Many newer employees seemingly don't know they are even entitled to 3.5 hrs at the bare minimum. If people don't stand up for the minimum now, I don't think a 4 hour minimum is going to matter much to them. I do know what you're saying though and I agree, I just don't see enough part timers caring about it at the moment to push change. [/QUOTE]
