[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 255663, member: 10234"] You've got to remember that providing healthcare for PTers attracts the wrong type of employee. They want the the young, single kid that is going to college and is still covered by their parents. Providing healthcare attracts the older (possibly married with children) person whose main attraction to the job [U]is[/U] the healthcare. Examples are: farmers, wives and a second job for those whose primary job does not provide benefits. These type of people are in it for the long haul. The odds of those benefits coming into play grows with time. Not the ideal PT employee from a business standpoint. They also would save money in wages with a steady turnover of these employees. Say every 2 years or so. But I will agree that at $8.50/hr to start, the turnover is most likely to be higher and more frequent that they'd like. It's a lot easier to flip burgers for the same (if not more) money than to put up with the physical demands of moving pkgs. Just another case of spending a dollar to save a dime, in my opinion. But the dollar shows up on one set of numbers while the dime shows up on another. Maybe some day they will put the two together and see what it's really costing them. [/QUOTE]
