If an employee switches from FT to PT, is an employer allowed to take away benefits, such as health coverage? Sure. Certain laws may no longer apply, or the company may have different policies for FT people versus PT people. yes. Check your employee handbook I would think so. If the part-time position does not usually come with benefits (and most don't), I don't know why you'd expect to get any. if the company policy is only FT employees receive benefits not PT and you elect to move from FT to PT then company policy says no benefits quit legal Yes, it should be in their company policy what benefits are for full time employees and which ones part time employees qualify for. It should also state how many hours per week is considered full time, it isn't always 40. Health insurance is one of the most common benefits that are for full time only. Yes. In Texas, there is state law that says workers have a right to self-pay the insurance premium and maintain coverage for a year after the position is terminated. I don't know if your situation falls under such a law but it seems like it would. |
