This may not be the forum for this issue, so please redirect me if inappropriate.
I work for a large retailer in Michigan. My staff was recently changed from salaried to hourly positions. (I lost 3/4 of my staff due to the scare tactics used in this change.)
32 - 40 hours is considered "full time" and is required for full time benefits. I would like to protect my staff, so have the following questions:
1. If scheduled for less than 32 hours, what recourse does the employee have?
2. Can a full time employee be forced to become part time?
3. If working less than "full time" hours, can the employee apply for partial unemployment?
Being middle management, I am between a rock and a hard place. However, I feel that it is my obligation to protect my staff and would like to be able to advise them if possible.
Thanks for your help,
Berta
