minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink43•8 months agothey lose hours but the hourly pay goes up, just like everybody else, no? I haven’t read the bill but I would be surprised if that’s not in there.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish31•8 months ago The problem is that company are absolutely going to pass that off to customers (aka, the workers… ultimately.) News flash, they’re going to be raising prices regardless.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish20•8 months agoPoint is, they’re going to anyway. So why even take that into consideration?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-28 months agoCompanies already offer part time retail positions, and they are shitty about it. 39.5 hours a week to avoid the full time line. So in this 32h future they’d just offer 31 hour positions at a lower rate and still yank people around Edit: I was off on values. Commenter below pointed out 30 is the mark
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•edit-28 months agoThe Full time Mark is already 30 hours per week measured monthly so not this would not change anything https://www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/employers/identifying-full-time-employees
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•8 months agoSorry off on values, but they would offer part time. This is common. So 28-29 hours.
