What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
Recently, several employees were downgraded from full to part time employment. No mention was ever made of being fired and rehired, nor were new employment contracts made. No change in hourly wage - only the number of hours worked and the loss of many benefits (ie medical, pension, etc.)
Management has now stated that these employees will not be paid for the labor day holiday since they do not have 90 days continuous service as is called for in the personnel policy for new part time hires. They are trying to change their anniversary date to the date they became part time instead of leaving it the date they were hired as full time. There is no section in the personnel policy for employees changing from full to part time.
What recourse do the employees have? The employees feel they are not new hires and should not be treated as such. They should be paid for the holiday since they have had more than 90 days continuous service.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
