What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arkansas
My wife has worked for a nursing home for going on nine years and was hired as a full time employee. As of recently, the workload has decreased , due to not as many people coming in for physical therapy, I am assuming due to the economic downturn...at any rate. After working this Christmas and New years day, typically and in the past paid at double time. She was notified to day that she hasn't been working over 32 hours so she is part time and is not eligible for Holiday pay now. Is this legal without letting her know that her employment status has been changed from full time to part time? I would assume that next they will tell her she is not eligible for vacation and her insurance benefits?
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance in this matter...
