What is the name of your state? Arizona
My wife had a full-time position, 40 hours per week and the company stated in their hand book that full time was 36 hours. A new manager came in and cut her hours to 22 hours and a part-timer was making more hours than her. I read your other messages about switching the schedule was legal and according to the people it was. Is there a law stating that she has certain hours as full-time? We know she was discriminated and the boss treated her terrible.

I forgot to tell you that, other full time employees were getting the 40 hours and she was not. Also she was the only minority full time employee. Do We have a case?

It's up to the employer to decide what work schedule constitutes full time status.

We know she was discriminated and the boss treated her terrible. Unless she's being treated less favorably BECAUSE of her age (if over 40), race, religion, gender, national origin, handicap, pregnancy, etc., then this is not prohibited discrimination. Additionally, no laws require the boss to be nice.
