I work 2 positions for the same company. Am I eligible for benefits?

I have a friend who has been working for a company in California since this past September. She has been working at two separate positions for this company (She works 20 hours at one position and 20 hours at the other totaling 40 hours per week). According to her company policies, she has nearly worked long enough at this company to become eligible for medical and dental benefits. However, when she approached her supervisor about this, she said that she was ineligible for these benefits because the company does not view her as a full-time associate. The company views her as working two part-time positions for two different branches of the company. My friend is positive that she is working under the same branch and is flustered. Is there a California/Federal labor law she can show to her company, or is she out of luck?

That doesn't sound kosher to me!





It doesn't matter what capacity she works in at the company. If she is working 40 hours a week, she is considered full time under the law. If other full-time employees are offer benefits, she should most certainly be entitled!





Good luck!
Reply:Your friend should call better business beaure..they would know exactly how to help her get her benefits..I am sure she qualifies and the company is just trying to get one over on her...She should put her foot down and threaten her supervisor to go to Better business bearue...I am sure they know that what they are doing is illegal...





In California, if you work in a certain place for more than three months working over thirty two hours a week..that person is eligible for full time benefits...
Reply:Go to the unemployment office and get the Labor Board's number then call them.
Reply:It depends on three things.





California's law regarding minimum hours for full time employment. Search on California Labor Board





Does she receive one paycheck every week? or two?





What the employee handbook states is considered full time employment.





Good luck to her
