Assuming you are over the age of 16, you can lose your job if you refuse. The number of hours you want to work is your preference. An employer is not required by any law to ajust their schedule to your preferences. Employers are legally allowed to schedule employees for the times that they are needed. If you are not available, they can and probably will hire someone with more flexibility. According to the U.S. Department of Labor Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)http://www.dol.gov/whd/flsa/faq.htmHow many hours per day or per week can an employee work? The FLSA does not limit the number of hours per day or per week that employees aged 16 years and older can be required to work.How many hours is full-time employment? How many hours is part-time employment? The FLSA does not define full-time employment or part-time employment. This is a matter generally to be determined by the employer. Whether an employee is considered full-time or part-time does not change the application of the FLSA.
full time is 40 hrs...30 and under = part time...employers can make you do whatever they want as long as you work for them...if you ve signed something saying you re part time, no they can t make you work more hours. If you haven t signed anything, then you have to tell them NO, you can t work more hours. ( you aren t a slave, don t act like one..)
I believe that they can ask you to, but I am not familiar with your particular state laws. I would suggest trying to get someone else to pick up your shifts. Maybe some one who needs the money more than the time would be glad to. Put a note by the time clock or something like that saying what shifts you are trying to get covered.. Just an idea.
yes. you can even work 40 hrs consistently and still be considered part time. They don t wanna pay you benefits and whatnot, so you are classified as part time.
He can ask you to, and you can refuse.He can also fire you.
they can tell you to either work the hours they need you to or find another job
He is THE BOSS like it or lump it
Yes, they can make you.
