Q: When should you be offered regular part time?
At my job we don't have "seasonal" but "part time recurring" instead. These employees are not considered regular, how long are until they become regular? Some of these employees work more days than the regular employees as well. Additionally, some have been with the company for years and are supervisors but are still "part time recurring".
They officially state that "part time recurring" is when they are busy and need more employees working but often almost the whole staff but the managers are "part time recurring" on any given day or week.
A:
Those labels are completely at the discretion of the employer. There is no law that requires an employer to make people regular or full time or part time, etc. The employer creates the categories for various reasons and the employer has the discretion to change those labels as well, as long as the employer is not engaging in unlawful discrimination by making such decisions based on your membership in a protected class of people or because you engaged in some form of legally-protected conduct.
Good luck to you.
A: Unfortunately, you have no remedy before the Workers Compensation Appeals Board.
